En un regard
Le château en bref
At the locality of Chaselle, in the commune of La Ferté-Saint-Aubin, in the Sologne region south of Orléans, the Château de Chaselle is a residence dating from the last quarter of the 19th century, a period when the Sologne, drained and replanted under the Second Empire, became a territory prized by great families for hunting. The Inventaire général of the Centre-Val de Loire region, which studied it during the topographical survey of the commune in 1986, links its construction to this period without knowing the name of its architect or builder. Its walls combine brick and stone, with partial rendering and sections of brick infilled with stone, a technique common in Sologne residences. The building has a basement, a square first floor and an attic storey; its façades are ordered by bays. Its mechanical-tile roof combines pitched roofs, hipped half-gables and valleys, giving it a lively silhouette. The château has no protection as a monument historique. It remains a private property that is not open to visitors.
