Château de Chitenay stands in Chitenay (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The château de Chitenay stands in the Loir-et-Cher region, built in the mid-18th century for Guy Guillaume Mahy, baron de Cormeré, a tax official based in Blois. One wing, set at a right angle, is older still, dating from the 17th century, and was reworked when the main building went up, giving the whole an assembly of different periods. A small modern-looking bell tower crowns the roofline and marks the building out from a distance.
