Culan
Culan is located in the southern tip of the Cher department, a few kilometres.
It is for its castle that Culan is best known, and that attracts visitors to the village. Said to be the third castle to stand in the same place, the current Culan castle was constructed from the 13th to 15th centuries, with minor modifications in later centuries.
The castle was very extensively renovated during the second half of the 20th century, and has many features of interest both inside and outside. Examples include the wooden structures between the rooves and stonework (to enable the occupants to throw objects at attacking parties), and the impressive grand fireplaces. Added more recently are the recreations of medieval gardens around the castle.
The castle plays host to various medieval festivals and reenactments during the summer holidays.
While visiting Culan there are other feautures of interest apart from the castle, including some attractive medieval houses and the arched stone bridge and wooded valley below the castle.
