Château de Chevilly, Castle in Chevilly, France

Château de Chevilly stands at the end of a long avenue of chestnut and plane trees in Chevilly, Loiret. The pale beige main block has a triangular pediment holding a round clock, a balustrade above, and a dark slate roof with three dormer windows and two brick chimneys. Lower wings flank it, and a second facade has a balcony with wrought-iron railing above three arched ground-floor openings.

Nicolas Hatte, receiver general of finances under Louis XV, built the château in 1732 on land bequeathed by his uncle, moving the chapel into the right wing. In 1753 his heir Louis Robert sold it for 75,000 livres to Étienne de Silhouette, who resold it in 1763 to Jean-François-Claude Perrin de Cypierre, intendant of Orléans. Cypierre enlarged the 17th-century pavilion into a reception palace. The estate became a barony in 1763 and gave its name to the commune, formerly Andeglou, in 1766.

The estate's name passed to the neighbouring commune, formerly Andeglou, in 1766, three years after the domain was raised to a barony. The chapel, moved into the right wing in 1733, holds woodwork listed as a monument historique. In the park, a copper beech stands at the centre of the 22-hectare French-style garden.

The site is best reached by car since walking from larger towns is not practical. Visits typically occur by prior arrangement and during special heritage open days.

The ice house in the grounds was only rediscovered in 1950: a cone-shaped chamber with a fine arch, 10 m deep, with an unused well at its centre. Nearby stands the dovecote, and the former stables hold a collection of horse-drawn carriages dating from 1860 to 1910.
