Chateau de Leveville, Medieval castle in Bailleau-l'Évêque, France
The castle features a distinctive multicolored brick facade with architectural elements from the Louis XIII period, surrounded by fortified walls and a moat.
Michel le Vacher commissioned the construction of the original castle between 1479 and 1506, marking the beginning of its significant role in Chartres' history.
The castle's architecture reflects the evolution of French military and residential design from the 15th to 17th centuries through its various modifications.
Located on a plateau above Chartres, the castle offers direct access to the surrounding gardens and the chapel of Mary Magdalene.
During World War II, the castle functioned as a German control center until United States troops took control of it in 1944.
