Château Chesnel, Historical monument and winery in Cherves-Richemont, France.
The quadrilateral complex features a main building on two levels with square towers at each corner and wings forming a right angle.
Jacques Chesnel, governor of Cognac, acquired the property in 1530, and his grandson Jacques Roch Chesnel constructed the castle in 1610.
The architecture combines residential comfort with decorative military elements, including moats, towers, and parapets with ornamental crenellations.
The castle remains open throughout the year, requiring advance appointments for guided tours, with parking facilities and picnic areas available.
The entire ensemble of buildings, including the castle and its dependencies, maintains its original early 17th-century configuration without alterations.
