En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de la Pigeonnière, at Chailles in the Loir-et-Cher department, is a 17th-century building that was extensively remodelled in the 19th century. Its quadrangular main block is flanked by two wings, the northern corners of which are marked by square turrets, while the staircase tower on the southern side is framed by two round turrets. Remains of earlier fortifications, a moat and four turrets, still survive. Inside, the library is decorated with painted ornament and carved torchères, and three 17th-century stone chimneypieces have been preserved. It has been partially listed as a monument historique since 1989.
