Le Château du Moulin

According to another guidebook I have, Les Guides Illustrés (Hachette, 1924) the Château du Moulin was built between the years 1489 and 1502 by Philippe du Moulin, a loyal servant of the French king Charles VIII. The Château du Moulin is less than 15 miles southeast of Cheverny and was built of red and black brick with stone accents. The author of the Cadogan guide to the Loire calls it "the romantic star of the brick châteaux of the Sologne" and says it is "a dreamy place hidden in the countryside." It is surrounded by a wide moat and accessible via drawbridge.
