Château de Marcheval stands in Millançay (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: 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Marcheval Castle, built in the eighteenth century in brick and stone, stands on the north side of an esplanade bordered by moats. Its south façade displays a classical composition: a central projection crowned by a triangular pediment, flanked by two symmetrical wings. The architectural complex includes a square chapel topped with a bell turret, nineteenth-century outbuildings, and various dependencies arranged around an inner courtyard.
What to know
- Only the façades and roofs of the castle are listed as historic monuments, since 1976.
- The complex includes several separate buildings: the castle itself, a chapel, outbuildings, a guard house, and nineteenth-century stables.
- The moats surrounding the esplanade separate access to the castle from its inner courtyard.
