Château Chavat, Neoclassical castle in Podensac, France
The interior of Château Chavat contains Art Deco stained glass windows created by Bordeaux master glassmaker Léon Delmas, adding refined details to the structure.
Built in 1917 by architect Marmisse, the estate includes a water tower designed by Le Corbusier and gardens laid out by landscape architect Charles Bouhana.
The park features marble and bronze sculptures, including Renaissance works and antique replicas from the Nelli Foundry, signed by artist Pio Welonski.
The municipality maintains the castle grounds, which undergo a 10-year restoration project with a budget of 3 million euros since 2012.
The Venus Temple in the park contains marble benches supported by winged lion feet, formerly housing a marble Venus statue stolen in 2007.
