Culture
The Donjon de Montrichard stands on a natural rocky outcrop above the town and can be visited independently; a visitor guide is available for this purpose. The Tour Carrée of the Montrichard fortress was built in the 12th century by the d’Amboise family. The Forteresse de Montrichard was classified as a historic monument in 1877. The Church of Sainte-Croix originated in the early 11th century from a chapel located below the donjon. In the Church of Sainte-Croix, stained-glass windows commemorate the weddings of the two daughters of Louis XI, which took place in the castle chapel there.
