Origin and history

Château de la Charnaye is a building located in the commune of Montigny, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. The available sources do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, but its status as a monument suggests local or architectural significance. The castles of this region, often linked to feudal history or the Renaissance, served as seigneurial residences or places of power.

In Montigny, as in other villages in the Centre-Val de Loire, these monuments could play an economic, social or defensive role, reflecting the organisation of rural and aristocratic society of their time.
