Origin and history

Palluau Castle is a building located in the commune of Palluau-sur-Indre, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This monument is part of a territory marked by a varied architectural heritage, often linked to local history and regional dynamics.

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.
