Chevré, Historical complex in La Bouëxière, France
The fortified complex comprises a chapel and a bridge, featuring a circular tower and courtyard positioned near a pond on granite foundations.
The site traces back to 1159 when construction began with a mound, followed by a circular dungeon built between 1225 and 1234.
The chapel maintains its original gable facade and walls from the 12th century, with modifications made during the 16th century period.
The monument gained official protection status on November 21, 1995, and visitors can access public areas while respecting private property boundaries.
The bridge spans across the pond with seven arches supported by granite pillars, maintaining its original 13th-century construction state.
