The chateau of AZAY-le-FERRON is a typical example of the beautiful Loire Valley chateaux. Yet it stands at the gates of the Brenne region. AZAY-le-FERRON, under the control of the Preuilly sur Claise barony, was therefore part of the Tourraine region. The chateau is made of four parts built at different times : The tower Frotier (late XVth), the wing Humières (mid-XVIIth), the pavilion François 1er (XVIth), and the pavilion Breteuil (XVIIIth). On the side, the wing Cingé (XVIIth) is linked to the chateau by a gallery built in 1926 and inspired by the chateau of Valençay.
