Château de Chavigny, Historical monument in Lerné, France.
The Château de Chavigny features Renaissance galleries connecting two wings, built according to architect Pierre Le Muet's designs in 1637.
In 1634, Claude Bouthillier purchased three fiefs for 120,000 livres tournois and initiated a major reconstruction project of the existing structure.
The estate demonstrates the architectural evolution of French noble residences, transitioning from a fortified manor to a prestigious dwelling in the 17th century.
Current remains include the communal court, castle platform, entrance portal, and chapel staircase, which visitors can observe from the street.
The castle underwent partial demolition in 1839-1840 to make way for a smaller residence constructed using materials from the original structure.
