GIGANTICKÁ Fotografie + English: France-001539 - Original Keep (Taken on June 26, 2014, Sony NEX-7)

• The medieval keep is the last vestige of the previous château.

• Château de Chenonceau spans the River Cher, near the small village of Chenonceaux. It is one of the most well-known châteaux of the Loire valley. The current château was built in 1514-1522 on the foundations of an old mill and was later extended to span the river. The bridge over the river was built between 1556-1559.
• The original château was torched in 1412 by King Charles VII to punish owner Jean Marques for supporting the Duke of Bourgogne and the English.
• The son built a new château and fortified mill on the site. He sold the castle to Thomas Bohier in 1513 who destroyed the castle, though its 15th-century keep was left standing. He then built an entirely new residence between 1514 and 1522, much of what we see today.
