Castle opening hours
Open the doors of Sully-sur-Loire Castle to discover what is hidden behind these high towers and its keep. All of France’s history is revealed to visitors because a good number of famous historical, military, political and artistic people have set foot on our soils.
From Philippe-Auguste to Louis XIV, from Joan of Arc to Mac Mahon, from Voltaire to La Fayette; Sully-sur-Loire Castle is known for being the setting of many encounters which are told to you today by our guides and facilitators.
During your time at the castle, you will come across 19 rooms all different from one another. Large spaces in the keep; containing the great lower hall, the room of honour, the king’s room and the more private spaces of the “Petit Château” (Little Castle); the visitor will be amazed by the dimensions of the building and the richness of the furniture.
December 25 and the entire month of January
The castle is open in December every day except Mondays and December 25th.
We close our doors all of January to reopen our castle only in February.
