Château de Bonaventure, Royal hunting castle in Huismes, France.
The castle ruins include a rounded arch doorway, a southwest tower with battlements, and eastern-facing brick walls.
King Louis XI built this castle as a hunting lodge and stayed there regularly between 1480 and 1482.
The main residential building and Saint Bonaventure chapel were demolished in 1745, leaving the current remains protected by the state.
The castle stands at the locality of Uzage, five kilometers from Chinon, within an enclosed one-hectare estate bordered by a stream.
A detailed plan of the castle drawn by Turgot in 1704 and a watercolor from 1699 in the Gaignières collection document its original configuration.
