Photo "Le jardins de fleurs. En 1759, Charles-François Leblanc de Manarval, maître de forges et Directeur de la Manufacture royale de draps de Châteauroux, acquiert les terres de Bouges. Il fait édifier le château bâti en pierre de taille, dont on attribue la construction à l'architecte du Roi Jacques-Ange Gabriel(1698-1782). En 1818, Talleyrand acquiert le château pour y installer sa chère nièce, la Duchesse de Dino. En 1917, le château est acquit par Henri Viguier, Président-directeur général du Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville. Sans enfants, Henri Viguier lèguera le château à la Caisse nationale des monuments historiques en 1968. En acquérant Bouges, Henry Viguier peut se consacrer à son amour du cheval, et place cet animal au centre de tous ses loisirs de châtelain : chasses, promenades, pique-niques, voyages ou approvisionnement du château. Propriétaire d’une écurie de courses, il aime particulièrement les beaux attelages.
