Château de Cœuvres, Protected castle in Cœuvres-et-Valsery, France

The castle features a quadrilateral structure with four corner pavilions, curtain walls, and an entrance pavilion surrounded by a lower courtyard with outbuildings.

The property changed ownership in 1530 when Antoine d'Estrées, father of Gabrielle d'Estrées, inherited the castle and initiated architectural modifications.

The grand granaries display narrow bays, dormer windows, fluted pilasters, and decorative cannonballs representing Jean II d'Estrées' role as Grand Master of Artillery.

While the castle remains under private ownership, visitors can observe its exterior architecture and historical elements from the surrounding public roads.

During World War I, the castle served as military headquarters for multiple regiments and medical units, as documented by owner Albert de Bertier de Sauvigny.
