History+

The history of the Château de Sanzay is closely linked to the Sanzay family, who shaped the estate. As few written records exist regarding the castle's construction and use, research primarily relies on archaeological studies of the surviving structures. These allow for hypotheses about the site's development, which can be verified through further excavations. Since 1930, the Château de Sanzay has been recognized as a Monument historique and is protected by the French Ministry of Culture.
