Origin and history

Dolbeau Castle is a building located in the municipality of Semblançay, in Indre-et-Loire, in the heart of the Centre-Val de Loire region. This monument, listed as a historical monument on October 6, 2014, illustrates the local architectural heritage, although its precise origins and detailed history remain little documented in the available sources. The protected elements of the castle include the chapel pavilion in its entirety, the facades and roofs of the house body as well as the two isolated towers, and a terrace.

These architectural features suggest careful construction, probably linked to a residential or symbolic function for its owners. The recent listing of historic monuments reflects a desire to preserve this heritage for future generations.
