Mondoubleau: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Culture and History
Around 1010, Hugues Doubleau had a mighty stone fortress made of flint and Roussard sandstone built on a small hill in Mondoubleau, dominated by a 33-metre-high keep. Roussard sandstone was used to build the Mondoubleau fortress around 1,000 years ago.
The Maison du Gouverneur was built around 1460 as a half-timbered house. It features a timber-frame construction, a pavilion-style hipped roof and diamond-shaped wooden connections in the framework.
The Church of Saint-Denis is a 12th-century building that was restored in the 16th century. It has a rich collection of 19th-century stained-glass windows, is open all day every day and offers guided tours on request.
The Pont vrillé was built between 1830 and 1835. Its semicircular arch is made of hewn Roussard sandstone. The Polissoir de Mondoubleau is around 6,000 years old.
