History

The Château de Bois-Bouzon is an early 17th-century manor house built during the reign of Louis XIII. It was commissioned in 1632 from the Berry architect Jean Lejuge; construction began in 1636. It is protected as a historic monument, with the protection also covering the outbuildings and park. Augy is a former seigneurie mentioned in written records since 1163.

Landscape

The small château in Augy is located on the banks of the Villabon stream. It has an imposing round tower, which may be a 17th-century dovecote and is connected to a main building in the Neoclassical style. The washhouses on the Villabon have traditional silhouettes and roofs made of old tiles; today, they welcome walkers.

The municipal paths offer pleasant opportunities for walks in Farges-en-Septaine. Several old wells with stone surrounds have been preserved in the village squares; one of the surrounds is hexagonal. Les Vignes is located at the upper edge of a wooded slope that descends towards the gardens along the Yèvre.
