Probably, there was a Roman camp on the site, but the origins of the castle, for military use, certainly date back to the 12th century. It takes its name from the Isimbardi family, who made it more elegant during the Renaissance. Now managed by a Foundation dedicated to the last owner, Mrs. Vera Cuoghi, with research purposes in the healthcare sector. The castle, recently restored, is suitable for events and weddings (it has a huge fenced garden) and hosts art exhibitions. During the year, on some occasions, visits are organized by the foundation's volunteers

We could only see the outside, there was no sign of staff/entrances etc. Perhaps the area was deserted since it was Sunday. In any case, the opening hours were not available on maps, nor on the website, nor on site

Having only visited the outside, I promise to visit it inside too

An interesting visit; the Castle is a place rich in history. It hosts the Vera Coghi Foundation. The volunteers welcome you with great warmth and availability.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
