Two viewpoints overlooking the viaduct and Culan Castle
Highlight • Other
On one side the Culan viaduct, a former railway line passing over the Arnon and rehabilitated as a pedestrian path.
On the other, Culan Castle which stands on its rocky spur in the distance. We can see particularly well from the bridge its wooden hoardings, the wooden elements under the roof which were used to throw projectiles at the attackers and which we rarely see anymore on the fortresses which had them.

Château de Culan
Highlight • Castle
Mazarin ordered in 1651, at the time of the Fronde, the destruction of part of its structure (entrance castle, top of its keep and certain areas of its ramparts).
Its last owner, who died in 2020, tried to bequeath the castle to the Cher department, which refused due to the excessive cost of maintenance.
The visit is possible every day between Easter and All Saints’ Day. Medieval weekends and thematic visits are also organized there during part of the summer.
