The 15th-century Porte de Champagne is the only remaining city gate in Levroux. Originally built with the permission of King Charles VII to fortify the town, it still marks the transition between the old and newer parts of the city. During the recent restoration, the gate regained its towers and roofs, giving you a good impression of how imposing the entrance to Levroux once was. A true eye-catcher and a reminder of the town's medieval character.

For a village, Levroux boasts a church that almost has the allure of a cathedral. The 13th-century Collégiale Saint-Sylvain is not called the "petite cathédrale du Berry" for nothing. Note the details: the Romanesque side portal that once housed the sick and outcasts, the wooden stalls with humorous carvings, and the unique organ cabinet from 1502. Inside, you'll even find the banc du bourreau—the executioner's seat, marked with a red cross.

Around the 1400s, Levroux suffered attacks and acts of terror from local brigands. King Charles VII therefore authorized the city to fortify its perimeter. Sixteen towers, adjoining walls and a moat were built, of which the Porte de Champagne is all that remains today.

Built in the 13th century, this church is actually known as the little cathedral of Berry. Apparently, the south wall opens to a door with a porch that served as an entrance for lepers.

This castle dates back to the 1100s. It is believed to have been occupied at one time by Richard the Lionheart. Only three defensive towers remain of what one can imagine to be a beautiful castle.
