The building was financed by the industrialist Jean-Félix Bapterosses, owner of the Briare enamel factory. The church was listed as a historic monument by decree on 14 May 1987.

The Château was built between 1885 and 1890 by the Yver-Bapterosses family118 and is now a venue for temporary exhibitions.

• THE LOIRE BY BIKE

Set off from Briare, a major centre for river tourism, famous for its canal bridge, towards Sully-sur-Loire and its unique medieval castle, where you will cycle through the countryside, accompanied by the wild Loire and its hillsides. Discover the village of St Brisson-sur-Loire, where the ancient feudal castle dominates the Loire Valley, and from the top of its promontory you can see Anne de Beaujeu's castle in Gien. This is the perfect opportunity to stop off in the town of earthenware. Then it's time to enjoy the Loire, before leaving it again to find your way back to it and follow it as far as Sully-sur-Loire.
