Aubigny-sur-Nère｜Route Jacques CœurFounded, according to tradition, by Philippe-Auguste at the very end of the 12th century, the seigneury of Aubigny and its castle are closely linked to the royal house. Possessed by Jean de Berry (brother of King Charles V) at the end of the 14th century, they returned to the hands of the crown after the duke’s death in 1416.
Partly destroyed by the English during the Hundred Years’ War (in 1383 and 1412), the castle fell to Jean Stuart, a Scotsman who had fought alongside King Charles VII in various battles. John Stuart also received the seigneury and its associated rights. His successors served kings Charles VIII, Louis XII and François I in the Italian wars. The château was rebuilt on a new site for Robert Stuart after the 1512 fire that ravaged the town of Aubigny.
The entrance pavilion and wing date from the first half of the 16th century. The entrance pavilion comprises a central body flanked by three buttressed turrets and a circular stair tower (courtyard side).

Aubigny-sur-Nère｜Route Jacques CœurThe Stuart line died out in 1672, and it was to the Duchess of Portsmouth, Louise de Keroual, mistress of King Henry II of England, that Louis XIV donated the seigneury (for services rendered to the crown…).
Towards the end of the 17th century, Louise de Keroual had the château radically altered, with new openings and interior fittings (ceilings, floors and fireplaces). The west wing dates from this period. Neglected after the Duchess’s death(circa 1734), the château was seized during the French Revolution and sold in 1812 to the town of Aubigny, which used it for administrative purposes. The south wing was largely rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. The château was completely restored in the 1920s by Aubigny architect Paul Guérin. Further restoration work is scheduled for 2018.

In this old house in the town center, acquired and fully restored by the municipality, the town council wanted to showcase the skills and techniques associated with yarn, in reference to the textile industry that flourished in Aubigny-sur-Nère between the 16th and 17th centuries, with the cardeux and royal draperies, but also in the 20th century with the presence of textile industries such as shirt-making.

Aubigny-sur-Nère, Galerie François 1er｜OT Sauldres&SologneThe Maison dite François Ier is a half-timbered house in the heart of the town, probably one of the oldest in the Cité, having been built as early as 1519 – following the fire of 1512.
Acquired and renovated by the town council, it is now an art gallery open to the public from spring to late autumn. Painters, ceramists and/or sculptors are on show: visiting these exhibitions is as much an opportunity to discover these works as it is to appreciate the beauty of the Maison’s architecture.
