Le Plessis and le Châtelier, two separate fiefs, were united in the 15th century. This ancient fiefdom came under the authority of the castle of Amboise. In 1674 this fief belonged to François de Faverolles and the castle remained in the family until 1759. It was then sold to Emmanuel Peltereau (1722-1810), lord of Plessis-Limeray, esquire, King’s Councillor and Ordinary Controller of the Wars.
The castle has undergone many transformations.
Indeed, in the 19th and 20th centuries, numerous works changed its appearance. The west side and the Louis XIII tower in the center were extended in 1844 by Jacques Levillain, before being enlarged once again to the east by Henri and Paul de L’Épinois in 1878 in a neo-renaissance style. The west side chapel and the 16th century building disappeared in the 1960s. A few vestiges remain on the current veranda. The wing had an octagonal and a square tower. The right wing was later restored.
Michel Georges Micberth, a pamphleteer writer, rented it from 1968 to 1972. Then Mr Vogiel (artist) lived there.
