Origin and history
Billeron's fief is attested by the end of the 12th century, but the current building was built at the end of the 18th century. It consists of a one-storey house body, accessible by a porch, and a south courtyard closed by a half moon flanked by two circular towers. This complex extends towards a second courtyard lined with buildings of commons, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. The gardens, drawn at the same time, partially retain their original layout.
In the southwest of the castle, a neo-Gothic chapel was erected around 1895 by architect Henri Tarlier. The estate, including facades, roofs, old gardens, dovecote, and outbuildings, was listed in the Historical Monuments by order of 8 March 1995. Private property, it illustrates the architectural evolution of a rural seigneury between the former regime and the Third Republic.
The protected elements also cover grids, walls, and courtyard floors, as well as agricultural buildings (logis, barn, barn). The site, located in the Cher (Centre-Val de Loire region), reflects the spatial organization typical of noble estates, between seigneurial residence, places of worship, and farms. The accuracy of its location is considered satisfactory a priori (note 7/10).
