Château de Châtenay, Heritage castle in Cognac, France
The castle features four towers with slate-covered wings and stands on the left bank of the Charente River north of Cognac center.
Originally built on a Gallo-Roman villa site, the castle became a royal property in 1541 under Duke Charles, son of King Francis I.
The estate represented the regional architecture evolution through multiple reconstructions, including major changes by the Caminade family in 1807.
The castle stands at Boulevard de Châtenay, near the Charente River, with the surrounding area featuring gardens and agricultural lands.
A nineteenth-century wool mill operated on the estate grounds, contributing to the local textile industry alongside traditional wine production.
