Origin and history

La Ferme de la Maison-Neuve, located in Châteauneuf-sur-Cher in the Cher department, is an 18th-century monument. It is distinguished by preserved architectural elements, including a wrought iron balcony in the Louis XV style, placed on a slight corbellation, as well as a turned baluster staircase dating back to the Louis XIII era. These stylistic details illustrate the evolution of decorative techniques between the 17th and 18th centuries, while at the same time showing the influence of royal artistic currents in provincial constructions.

Ranked among the Historical Monuments, the Ferme de la Maison-Neuve was partially protected by order of 22 March 1930, specifically concerning its wrought iron balcony. This official recognition underscores the heritage value of this element, representative of the know-how of the 18th century blacksmiths. The precise address, 893 La Maison Neuve, along with its Insee code (18058) confirm its anchoring in the Cher territory, in the region Centre-Val de Loire.

Although the practical information on current visits or uses (rents, guest rooms) is not detailed in the available sources, GPS location and Merimée data allow to situate the monument with an accuracy deemed "a priori satisfactory". This building thus embodies a preserved rural heritage, where architectural heritage and local history combine, in a department marked by a strong agricultural and artisanal tradition since the Ancien Régime.
