The stone château, surrounded on three sides by the River Indre, has an L-shaped plan under steep slate roofs. The medieval château of Azay, belonging to the Ridel family, had been destroyed by fire in 1418, although its original keep survived. The château subsequently passed to the Berthelot family, and in 1518 Gilles Berthelot put his wife, Philippe Lesbahy, assisted by the curé of St-Cyr, Guillaume Artault, in charge of supervising its reconstruction. Berthelot, however, was implicated in the prosecution of Jacques, Baron de Somblançay (c. 1457–1527), Minister of Finance to Francis I, and in 1528 the château was confiscated by the King. This effectively put an end to the building programme, leaving unfinished two of the four wings. In 1845 the medieval keep was rebuilt as a circular tower in Renaissance style, terminating the east wing, and a corbelled circular corner turret was added at the end of the south wing over the moat, to balance the turret built in the 16th century. Each three-storey wing consists of five bays marked out by mullioned windows, united vertically by pilasters and ending with elaborately decorated gables above the third-storey dormer windows. These interrupt a false walkway with battlements and machicolations. The main decorative feature is the escalier d'honneur in the centre of the south wing. This is signaled externally by a virtuosic four-storey frontispiece with alternating pairs of superimposed round-headed and basket arches forming the entrance and the lighting to the landings. The frontispiece is articulated with pilasters, half columns, carved relief panels and niches for statues; it terminates in a carved gable with all'antica candelabra and other Renaissance ornaments, reaching to the level of the roof ridge. Within, the straight flights of the Italianate staircase are covered with a coffered vault decorated with profile medallions all'antica, rosettes and other motifs.
