Château de Lalande (also written de la Lande) is a 16th-century château near Crozon-sur-Vauvre, Indre, in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. It was in the historic province of Berry up to 1790.
History[]
In the 16th century the current château was built, by the side of the lake. The east wing with its huge square towers, defences and semi-circular tower, dates from this period.[1]
The château was once owned by Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans, Duchess of Montpensier, a cousin of Louis XIV known as "La Grande Mademoiselle".[2]
The château has a separate private chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph, built in 1866.
In the mid-19th century it was visited by George Sand, who described this area as "la vallée noire".
It later became the hereditary property of the Marquises de Nadaillac. François-Louis du Pouget de Nadaillac escorted Marie Antoinette to France in 1770. The current owners bought Lalande from the de Nadaillac family in 2005.[3]
Location[]
The "Chêne du Not", a historic massive oak tree, is found nearby.[4]
