Château de Bonneville, Medieval castle in Chamblac, France.
The castle displays red-orange brick walls built upon an ancient limestone base, with small square towers marking each corner of the structure.
The original estate belonged to the Bonneville family, with Jean de Bonneville, the king's chamberlain, documented as lord of Chamblac in 1400.
French writer Jean de La Varende resided at the castle from 1919 to 1959, creating his literary works within these historic walls.
The castle contains 200 ship models crafted by La Varende, maintained through an association established in 2000 for museum development.
Following a fire in the mid-18th century, Count Nicolas de Bonneville rebuilt the castle, who later served as nobility deputy in the 1789 Estates General.
