Château de La Chèze, Medieval castle in Le Cheylard, France.
The castle stands on a hilltop position overlooking the valleys of the Eyrieux and Dorne rivers in the Ardèche department.
Built in the 13th century, the castle belonged to the Tournon de la Chèze family until the mid-16th century when the Tersac family acquired it through marriage.
The castle holds significance in Huguenot heritage as it witnessed religious conflicts between Catholics and Protestants during the 17th century regional revolts.
The castle opens for guided tours from Tuesday to Sunday during July and August, with sessions at 10:00, 15:00, and 17:00, excluding Saturday mornings.
A local heritage association has been working since 1989 to restore the castle after it sustained severe fire damage during World War II.
