Château de Thévalles, Medieval castle in Chémeré-le-Roi, France.
Château de Thévalles stands on a steep rock overlooking the Erve valley, featuring two crenelated towers and surrounding walls from the 15th century.
The foundation dates back to the 11th century, designed to repel Norman invasions, before the castle endured a siege by English forces under John Talbot in 1428.
The Gothic chapel built in 1850 contains sculptures created by Madame Boxberg, a friend of the Marquise de la Rochelambert, then owner of the castle.
The registered historical monument stands 1500 meters from the center of Chémeré-le-Roi and remains accessible via the road to Cossé-en-Champagne.
Bones of English soldiers killed during the 1428 battle were discovered during road construction near the castle in 1852.
