Château de Matval stands in Bonneveau (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France.

What the French Ministry of Culture records

Bonneveau aurait eu pour origine un castrum mérovingien, nommé Matoval, détruit par les Normands au 10e siècle. En 1459, la propriété fut donnée à Jean, bâtard de Louis de Bourbon et de Vendôme, qui fut probablement le créateur du château actuel. L'édifice comprend un bâtiment d'habitation. A l'angle sud-est de ce bâtiment se trouve un mur percé de meurtrières, vestige d'une construction dont subsistent les arrachements sur le mur pignon du corps de logis. Ce mur relie le bâtiment à une tour ronde. Des meurtrières et une bretèche en assuraient la défense. Sous le coteau et le château subsistent des galeries souterraines.
