PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. This was taken just before entering the chateau. The Garden of Catherine de Médicis is lined on the east with a sloping bed delimiting the moats, which are filled by the waters of the Cher River. Château de Chenonceau spans the River Cher, near the small village of Chenonceaux. It is one of the most well-known châteaux of the Loire valley. The current château was built in 1514-1522 on the foundations of an old mill and was later extended to span the river. The bridge over the river was built between 1556-1559. The original château was torched in 1412 by King Charles VII to punish owner Jean Marques for supporting the Duke of Bourgogne and the English. The son built a new château and fortified mill on the site. He sold the castle to Thomas Bohier in 1513 who destroyed the castle, though its 15th-century keep was left standing. He then built an entirely new residence between 1514 and 1522, much of what we see today. |
