Château de Clairvaux, Renaissance castle in Scorbé-Clairvaux, France.
The castle features a main building with Gothic elements, double enclosures, and stands amid landscaped grounds with centuries-old trees.
Construction began in 1470 by Renaud Chabot, with René de Villequier later acquiring the estate in 1580 and transforming it into a county.
The International Chess Games Museum within the castle presents collections from different regions, including Napoleon I's campaign chess set.
The castle opens for guided tours, allowing visitors to explore the architectural elements and museum collections throughout the year.
The castle grounds contain rare botanical specimens, including a candelabra-shaped yew tree and a cork oak.
