Renaissance splendor at Azay-le-Rideau

Highlight • Other

The Azay-le-Rideau Castle is located in the municipality of Azay-le-Rideau in France. The two-wing Renaissance building is one of the most famous castles in the Loire region.

The historical roots of the moated castle lie in a high medieval castle of the knight Ridel d'Azay, which was razed at the beginning of the 15th century by the later French king Charles VII. Around a century later, between 1518 and 1527, Gilles Berthelot had today's palace built on the site of the old castle. In 1791, through the Raffin family, he came to the Marquis Charles de Biencourt. His descendants sold the property to the French state in 1906, which has owned it ever since.

Saint-Symphorien Church - Azay-le-Rideau

Highlight • Religious Site

The Saint-Symphorien Catholic church in Ponthion, a commune in the Marne department in the Grand Est region of France, was probably built in the late 11th or 12th century. At the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century the Romanesque church was partially renovated in the Gothic style. The church is dedicated to Saint Symphorianus, a martyr executed in Autun in the 2nd century. In 1924 the church was added to the list of architectural monuments in France as a monument historique.
