En un regard
Le château en bref
At the locality of Chevau, in La Ferté-Saint-Aubin, in the Sologne region of Loiret, the Château de Chevau is an eclectic mansion in the neo-Renaissance style, built in the second half of the nineteenth century. Like many Sologne châteaux of that period, it arose from the enthusiasm of the bourgeoisie and the nobility for large hunting estates, which were then multiplying in a region transformed by drainage and reforestation works. The Inventaire général, which recorded it during the topographical survey of the commune in 1986, does not know the name of its architect. Built of brick and stone, the combination of materials most characteristic of Sologne, it has a regular plan. It rises over a basement, a square first floor and an attic storey, with an ordered elevation. Its roofs, very varied, combine conical roofs, pavilion roofs and hipped roofs, and emphasise its picturesque character. The château does not benefit from protection as a monument historique. It is a privately owned property.
