Château de La Guerche
15th-century fortress on the Creuse river
The provided research materials do not contain specific information regarding a Château de La Guerche in Nevers, France. The available texts describe the Château de La Guerche located in the Loire Valley, specifically on the banks of the Creuse River, which is distinct from Nevers.
This château is a 15th-century fortress that originally guarded a bridge and the surrounding village. It has a turbulent history but was saved from ruin because the current owners' ancestors made it their permanent home and restored it. The original entrance via a drawbridge is still visible, though public access is now through gates on the 'place de la Mairie' and through an 'English garden'. The building remains a private family home, so the interior is not extensively open to the public. However, guided tours are available and described as interesting.
The château is open to the public from June 16 to September 15. It is open every day except Sunday mornings, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Guided tours are offered at 10:00, 11:30, 14:30, 16:00, and 18:00. Admission fees are €8 for full price and €6 for reduced rates. The website is http://www.chateaudelaguerche.com/.
