Château de Chevilly

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Chevilly, in Méreau (Cher), dates back to the 16th century: a rectangular main building and a stair turret on the south façade, with two corner towers that may be older. The outbuildings, the dovecote and a mill were added in the 17th century, a low wing in the 18th century, and then a Renaissance pavilion in the 19th century. The chapter of Saint-Étienne de Bourges owned it from 1687 to 1789 and turned it into a farming estate. Listed as a Monument Historique since 6 June 1977 (façades, roofs, outbuildings, dovecote and mill), the château remains private property, and its exteriors are open to visitors during the Heritage Days (Journées du Patrimoine).
