Château de Luynes. Au Moyen-Âge, le village s'appelait Maillé. Maillé prit le nom de Luynes au XVIIè siècle. Au Xè siècle, un château est bâti sur le coteau. Il est détruit à la fin du XIe siècle, pendant les conflits entre Anjou et Touraine. Il est reconstruit au début du XIIè siècle. Les seigneurs de Maillé deviennent barons au début du XIIIè siècle et réaménagent le château. Au XVè siècle, l’intérieur de la haute cour est transformé par l’aménagement d’un logis en brique. Au XVIè siècle les logis seront réaménagés à l’ouest. Ce logis de brique et de pierres remanié a été habité depuis 1619 par les ducs de Luynes descendants du favori de Louis XIII. Le duché-pairie de Luynes a été constitué en 1619 au profit de Charles d'Albert, favori de Louis XIII, à partir du comté de Maillé. Ces terres prennent alors le nom de Luynes. Le nom de Luynes trouve son origine dans une possession de la famille d'Albert près d'Aix-en-Provence. De petite noblesse provençale, Luynes (Charles, marquis d'Albert, duc de), est d'abord page du comte du Lude, puis d'Henri IV. Habile fauconnier, il s'attire l'amitié du jeune Louis XIII, grand amateur de cette chasse. Louis XIII lui donne la charge de grand fauconnier en octobre 1616. L'année suivante, avec ses frères Cadenet et Brantes, Luynes est l'instigateur de l'assassinat de Concini, favori de Marie de Médicis, et il lui succède à la tête du gouvernement. Au XVIIè siècle, le second duc de Luynes (Il est le premier traducteur en français de l'œuvre en latin de Descartes), fait démolir le donjon et construire une grande aile classique fermant la façade sud donnant sur la vallée. Cette aile sera partiellement détruite au siècle suivant. Le château est en partie restauré au XIXè siècle, les ponts-levis remplacés par des ponts dormants, certaines tours arasées. Il est toujours la propriété des ducs de Luynes. Château de Luynes. In the Middle Ages, the village was called Maillé. Maillé took the name of Luynes in the seventeenth century.
