Aubigny-sur-Nère｜Route Jacques CœurFounded, according to tradition, by Philippe-Auguste at the very end of the XIIth 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 XIVth 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 John Stuart of Darnley, a constable of the Scottish army who fought alongside King Charles VII in various battles. John Stuart also received the lordship and the rights that depended on it. His successors would serve KingsCharles VIII, Louis XII and François I in the Italian Wars. The castle was rebuilt on a new site for Robert Stuart after the fire of 1512 which ravaged the town of Aubigny.

Aubigny-sur-Nère｜Route Jacques CœurThe Stuarts line having died out in 1672, it was to the Duchess of Portsmouth, Louise de Keroual, mistress of King Henri II of England that Louis XIV donated the seigneury (for services rendered to the crown…).
At the very end of the seventeenth century, Louise de Keroual had major alterations made to the château, in particular new openings and interior fittings (ceilings, floors and fireplaces). The west wing dates from this period. Neglected after the Duchess’s death (around 1734), the château was seized during the Revolution and sold in1812 to the town of Aubigny, which used it for its administrative services. The south wing was largely rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. The château was completely restored in the 1920s by Paul Guérin, an architect in Aubigny. Further restoration work was undertaken in 2018.
Aubigny Sur Nere｜ot Sauldresologne 1The Auld Alliance Interpretation Centre (AAIC) opened its doors in 2019 and is locatedon the ground floor of Stuarts Castle.
Through a playful scenography and a set of interactive multimedia devices, this place helps to understand the historical link that has united France and Scotland since the XIIIth century.

In this former house in the town centre, which was acquired and then fully restored by the local authority, the town council wanted to showcase the skills and techniques around yarn in reference to the textile industry that flourished in Aubigny-sur-Nère between the16th and XVIIth centuries with the royal cardeux and draperies, but also in the XXth century with the presence of textile industries such as chemiseries.

Aubigny-sur-Nère, Galerie François 1er｜OT Sauldres&SologneThe Maison dite François Ier is a wood-panelled house located in the heart of the town, probably one of the oldest in the Cité as it was built as early as 1519 – following the fire of 1512.
Acquired and renovated by the municipality, it is now an art gallery open to all from spring to late autumn. It features painters, ceramists and/or sculptors: visiting these exhibitions provides as much opportunity to discover these works as the beauty of the architecture of this House.
