Château de Chèreperrine, French heritage castle in Origny-le-Roux, France

The castle features two parallel outbuildings, with the eastern section containing staff quarters and a chapel, while the western part houses stables and carriages.

Built in 1704 and partially destroyed by fire in 1924, the castle stands on the location of a 15th-century fortress that contained a chapel dedicated to Saint George.

The ground floor preserves a complete salon decorated by Nicolas Heurtaut, displaying late 18th-century wall panels and painted door tops in his characteristic style.

The castle maintains dry moats surrounding an honor courtyard, with protected areas including facades, roofs, outbuildings, chapel, sleeping bridge, gate, and three parterres.

During World War II, the castle served as a temporary storage facility for art collections, protecting valuable pieces from potential German occupation in 1939.
