Summary

Description	Châtillon-sur-Indre (Indre). La Tour César* ou Grosse Tour. Le donjon sur motte* domine Châtillon. On peut nommer donjon l'ensemble de la grosse tour avec sa chemise*. La forme cylindrique de la "grosse tour" est caractéristique du XIIe siècle. Dans la seconde moitié du XIIe siècle, plusieurs grands féodaux du comté de Blois firent construire ou reconstruire d'imposantes tours, comme à Marchenoir, les Montils, Châteaurenault, Romorantin, Fréteval, Coulommiers-la-Tours, Gallardon, Mondoubleau, Châteaudun. L'absence d'organes de défense, comme les archères, laisse penser que la fonction défensive pourrait être secondaire. La grosse tour pourrait alors être considérée comme une marque d'autorité et de prestige. La grosse tour de Châtillon est gratifiée de l’appellation « Tour de César », qu’elle partage avec beaucoup d’autres, de par son importance ou de l'importance de son propriétaire. Cette "auguste" tour n'a rien d'antique. Originellement, la motte est une élévation artificielle édifiée avec la terre du fossé d'enceinte. Sur la butte, on construit un "castrum", primitivement en bois. Le tout est cerné par une palissade. L'ensemble forme la "motte castrale". Un deuxième enclos entoure les bâtiments annexes, agricoles, militaires, écuries, etc, l'ensemble forme la "basse-cour". www.clioetcalliope.com/medieval/archi/motte.htm La chemise est une muraille de protection entourant une tour, un donjon ou un autre éléments fortifié. La chemise succède à la palissade entourant la motte castrale. La chemise peut être appelée "baille" ou "bayle", du latin baculum (bâton) et de l'ancien français bail ou baille (palissade). Baille aura donné des toponymes en bailleau, comme Bailleau-le-Pin, Bailleau-l'Evêque, ou Bailleau-sous-Gallardon. (Pour en savoir plus, voir : Corvisier Christian. Le donjon de Châtillon-sur-Indre. In: Bulletin Monumental, tome 168, n°1, année 2010.) La Tour Cesar or Great Tower. This tower is part of a 12th century feudal mound. The enclosure surrounding the tower is still visible.
