Château de Crécy, Classical château in Crécy-Couvé, France
The château de Crécy exhibits classical French architecture with a grand courtyard and multiple wings designed by architect Nicolas-Antoine Perrard in 1726.
Madame de Pompadour acquired the château in 1746 with support from King Louis XV, transforming it into a significant residence through extensive renovations.
The interior decorations featured works by prominent artists including François Boucher, reflecting the refined artistic preferences of 18th-century French nobility.
The château was strategically located near Dreux, serving as a hunting meeting point for the Duke of Penthièvre who added numerous rooms for guests.
After the French Revolution, the château was progressively dismantled, with only the building known as La Rôtisserie remaining from its original structure.
