The Château de Talcy is a historical building in Talcy, Loir-et-Cher, France. It lies to the north of the river Loire, in the Loire Valley, known for its 16th-century châteaux. From a fortification in existence in the 13th century additional wings were added in the 1620s. Modernised in the 18th century the interiors have been preserved. A Historical Monument first registered in 1906 it has been owned by the state since 1933. It is open to visitors. It was first referenced in an act in 1221, although no description of the building is given. The title of Seigneur de Talcy was used in reference to the St Lazare family. It was bought in 1466 by a Parisian lawyer: Pierre Simon. The central tower was built by the Simon family in 1480. Three generations of the Simon family lived there before the family line died out on the death of Jean Simon, Bishop of Paris in 1502. His sister, Marie was the final owner. The building was bought from Marie Simon in 1517 by Roberto Bernard Salviati, a Florentine banker and his wife Francoise (née Doucet). Bernard Salviati requested that the building be fortified, the request was granted in 1520 by Jean d'Orleans-Longueville, archbishop of Toulouse and Seigneur of Beaugency. However limitations were placed on Salviati as to Seigneural rights: he could not keep an armed guard. Salviati was in a difficult situation, needing to be close to king François 1, as his banker yet not a French citizen. More information...
