Château de l'Auneau, 19th century château in Chantonnay, France.
The château features an Italian villa-castle architectural style with a landscaped park of 5 hectares overlooking the Petit Lay valley.
Built in 1899 by architect Joseph Libaudière for Professor Edouard Grimaux, replacing an earlier noble house that burned during the French Revolution.
The gardens earned the 'Remarkable Garden' designation from the French Ministry of Culture and Communication for their exceptional design and maintenance.
The estate opens during special events like Heritage Days with a 3 euro entrance fee, while private visits cost 4 euros by appointment.
The park contains characteristic trees from the late 19th century, including Himalayan cedar, blue cedar, and purple beech specimens.
