The setting: a short history of Nouan-le-Fuzelier and the Sologne
- Before the year 1000 – The first church of Nouan-le-Fuzelier is believed to date from before the year 1000, already in the form of a fortified church.
- 12th century – The large square tower of the Church of Saint-Martin, shaped like a keep, is dated to this century.
- 1460 – The oldest surviving document with the full name Nouan-le-Fuzelier dates from this year.
- 1667 – The choir of the church is built.
- 1793 – The parish formally becomes the commune of Nouan-le-Fuzelier.
- 1881–1887 – Corner towers are added at the end of the nave and in front of the choir, giving the church its castle-like look; it is built in red brick under slate.
- 1929 – The Church of Saint-Martin is listed as a historic monument.
- 1985–1986 – The Château de Moléon (1985) and the Courcimont barn (1986) are also entered on the historic monuments list.
The Sologne is a natural forest region of the Centre-Val de Loire, historically shared between the Orléanais and the Berry and lying between the Loire and the Cher. Nouan-le-Fuzelier is in the Grande Sologne, a vast stretch of woods and meadows, and its commune of 8,549 hectares is one of the five largest in the department.
The village’s culinary speciality is the Fuzelien, a local sausage celebrated by its own brotherhood. For a stay at the domaine, the heritage of the setting is mostly in the parish church, with its fortified-church origins and castle-like towers, and in the châteaux scattered across the Sologne and the Loire valley.
