Origin and history

The Bois des Goislardières is a monument located in the commune of Lanneray, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. The available data do not specify its exact nature or period of construction, but its name suggests a defensive or delimiting function, typical of wooded spaces designed for practical or symbolic purposes. In this region, similar fora or structures were often related to land management, forest resource protection or community uses.

Wood played a major economic role for local populations, providing firewood, building materials and hunting and grazing areas. These adjustments also reflected the social organization and priorities of rural communities throughout the centuries.
