Renay Castle is now in ruins. It was built in the 15th century and belonged to different noble families over the centuries, such as the Courcillons, the Rochambeaus, and the Raguet Lépines. The castle was partially registered as a historic monument in 1971, but it has not been well maintained by its successive owners. The last owner is Sylvain Durand, a dealer and collector who made his fortune with the paintings of Fernand Léger. He died in 2018 and his furniture and collection were sold at auction. The castle has suffered from a lack of maintenance and preservation.

The castle has suffered from a lack of maintenance and preservation, and has been damaged by vandalism and natural disasters. The tower, courtyards, chapel and chimneys are still visible, but most of the buildings are in a state of disrepair. It is a shame that such historical and architectural heritage is in such a state of disrepair, but the visit remains fascinating.

If you are interested in 15th century history and architecture, you should visit the Manoir du Tertre in Lignières, a manor which was once a feudal stronghold of the canons of Vendôme. You can walk around the mansion and admire the courtyards, towers, chapel and chimneys that have been preserved from the original construction. You will also be able to discover the families who owned the manor over the centuries, such as the Illiers des Radrets and the Plessis-d'Échelles. You can book a guided tour with one of the current owners, who will tell you more about the history and legends of this place. You will need to book in advance, as the manor is not open to the public all year round.
