Château de Chenavel, Renaissance castle in Jujurieux, France.
The castle features a quadrangular enclosure with three buildings at right angles, two round towers, and octagonal towers at interior angles.
Built as a fortress in the 14th century, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1590 under the direction of the abbot and lord of Ambronay.
The grand hall contains a monumental fireplace adorned with late Renaissance paintings, while period furniture decorates various rooms throughout the structure.
The castle now functions as an event venue, particularly for weddings, with direct contact available through telephone number +33 6 63 43 83 10.
During the French Revolution, local residents protected the castle from destruction by arguing its demolition would damage the surrounding vineyards.
