Château de Chenailles, 16th century castle in Saint-Denis-de-l'Hôtel, France.

The castle features two symmetrical towers flanking the main facade and extends over four levels with 1,295 square meters of living space.

Geoffroy Vallée built the castle in the 16th century, then Robert Miron and Marie Vallée continued its development until 1615.

A complete room from the castle, featuring paintings by Jean Mosnier, is currently displayed at the Toledo Museum of Art in the United States.

The estate includes nine bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, cellars, livable outbuildings, and garages within a 14-hectare park.

The park, designed by Le Nôtre, once contained 360 water features dedicated to deities such as Neptune and Venus in its French gardens.
