Château de Loches was built primarily for defensive purposes in the 9th century, serving as a strategic fortress to protect the region from invasions. Over time, it evolved into a royal residence, reflecting the power and influence of its occupants, particularly during the reign of King Charles VII. Its location on a prominent hill allowed for surveillance of the surrounding area, which further enhanced its defensive and administrative functions. The castle also became a symbol of the royal authority in the region.
