A fortified site on an island in the Loire may have been existed here already in early times, as, where the bridge is now, once was an important ford to cross the river. In 1218 a keep was erected. End of the 14th century a donjon, flanked by four towers got erected and - to provide an agreeable accomodation for the noble owners - a "Petit Château" was added to he castle. The chateau was renovated and extended a couple of times and hosted some well known visitors. One of them was Voltaire, who lived here in 1716 and again in 1719 Voltaire lived here, when he had been exiled from Paris

It looks like the door of the Armurerie in Sully-sur-Loire got locked for ever.

Late afternoon there was a strange stench in Sully-sur-Loire. When I saw the firefighters working hard dousing the fire, I remembered the "Burning Man" Festival that started in the US in the mid 1980s. Maybe this is the start of a "Burning Tree" Festival in France.
