Mansart’s perspective and gardens at Sagonne
When Jules Hardouin-Mansart bought Sagonne in 1699, he pulled down the eastern curtain walls of the medieval fortress to open a perspective, and remodelled the surroundings with plantations and gardens.

Lecture éditoriale
A fortress of the house of Sancerre raised in the fourteenth century to control the road from Bourges to Sancoins, improved by the Babou family after 1546, Sagonne was substantially altered by Mansart in the early eighteenth century and dismantled at the Revolution. The record notes that the enceinte originally had eight towers and two gates, and that to open a perspective Mansart destroyed the curtains on the east side and reshaped the approaches by creating plantations and gardens. Four towers with battered bases still stand in the moats; the ruins were classified in 1914.
