Origin and history

Cherupeaux Castle is a monument located in the town of Tigy, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. Its name and location make it an important part of the built heritage of this rural area.

In the general context of the Centre-Val de Loire, castles have often played a central role in the social and economic organization of the territories. In Tigy, as in other municipalities in the region, these buildings could be used as seigneurial residences, administrative centres or defence sites. Their presence reflects the importance of feudal or post-feudal structures in local life, even if the Cherupeaux-specific archives are lacking to trace their exact evolution.
