Château de Chevregny, Listed historical château in Chevregny, France

The Château de Chevregny is a four-storey English-style manor rebuilt after 1917 on higher ground within the same estate, in yellow-pink brick. Two square towers are set into each side of the central pavilion, between it and the two lateral wings. Thousands of trees were replanted and the park redesigned around it.

The old château was built in 1716 by the notary J. Champion; only the porch on two Roman columns survives. In 1917 German bombardment on the front razed it and most of its wooded land, an estate of 250 to 300 hectares. Gabriel Cherrier then rebuilt an English-style manor higher on the same property, which left the family in 1982.

The property belonged to Henri Cherrier, a founding member of the Society of Book Friends who maintained an active role in French cultural circles.

The rebuilt manor stands at a higher elevation within the same Chevregny estate, in the Aisne department of Hauts-de-France, on the site of the wooded park replanted after 1917. The ruins of the old château, including the porch on two Roman columns, lie lower in the same commune. Access is by local roads; the grounds are viewed from outside.

The top floor held about fifteen maids' rooms, reached by a service staircase linking kitchens and cellars, with a discreet outside entrance. This arrangement kept domestic staff apart from the family and shows how a Parisian bourgeois household was run.
