Origin and history

Château des Estiveaux is a building located in the commune of Le Châtelet, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. The available data do not specify its construction period or architectural style, but its name suggests a family or local function origin. In the general historical context of the Centre-Val de Loire region, castles have often played a central role in social and economic organization.

They served as seigneurial residences, defence places or symbols of power. In Le Châtelet, as in many small communes, these monuments could also structure community life around agricultural or artisanal activities.
