Timeline

Origin and history

The Château de Bois Rogneux is a monument located in the commune of Vignoux-sous-les-Aix, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. The available sources do not specify its time of construction or its architecture, but its name suggests an origin related to a wooded estate or a former local seigneury. The castles of this region, often built between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, served as seigneurial residences or as places of territorial control.

In Vignoux-sous-les-Aix, as in other villages in Berry, these buildings played a central role in the social, economic and defensive organization of the surrounding rural communities. Their presence generally reflected the influence of a noble family or a religious order on agricultural land and channels of communication.
