En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Vauventriers, in Champhol (Eure-et-Loir), was built between 1598 and 1609 by Guillaume Baigneault, secretary to the king and financial adviser, who had acquired the original manor house in 1589. The chapel, the portal, the fish pond, the dovecote, the elevation and the interior decoration are protected as historic monuments. Passed down through the female line to the families du Buisson de Courson and then Lafont after its acquisition by Jacques Grandet de La Villette in 1747, the estate today belongs to the de Maupeou family. Since 2016, it has been experimenting with the cultivation of giant miscanthus, whose biomass fuels a 300 kW boiler and its heating network.
