Château de Saint-Ange de Villecerf

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Saint-Ange de Villecerf (Seine-et-Marne, France) was built from 1543 onwards under the name Châteauneuf de Challeau, by Anne de Pisseleu, Duchess of Étampes, on a plot of the fief of Beaumont-les-Challeau that François I had bought 10 years earlier from the Le Groing family, lords of Challeau. This ‘maison de plaisance bâtie à la moderne’, to use the words of Chastillon, who produced the first engraving of it, is cited as one of the ‘plus excellents bâtiments de France’ by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, who publishes drawings of it and commentary on it [page to be specified].
