Coudray Salbart is
an exceptional castle, initially by its fast evolution and the changes
of program which one affected over one short period, a little more
of the quarter century. Its architecture is deeply influenced by
the Plantagenet uses: Profiles of the turns in fine, which one finds
with the castle of Loaches before 1205. The principal part of the
castle shows a flanked quadrangular enclosure of six round towers,
all different. They are connected by a sheath, a long corridor spared
in the thickness of the walls. Tens of arched rooms, defended by
archères, testify to the quality of the construction and
its excellent state of conservation.
