This week in the agenda

Château du Verger stands in Chaveignes (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Verger Castle, built at the end of the 15th century in Chaveignes, retains its original long main residence and contemporary chapel. The south façade maintains its authenticity despite the enlargement of openings in the 17th century, while the north façade, reworked in the mid-19th century, adopts a Tudor aesthetic. Outbuildings complete the monument: service structures, a circular dovecote and moats testify to successive phases of the site's development.

What to know

The façades, roofing, gatehouse, dovecote and moats have been listed as historical monuments since 1966.
The 17th-century entrance door is inspired by the style of Richelieu and marks the architectural evolution of the site.
The windows of the south façade were enlarged in the 17th century, a visible modification that does not detract from the whole.
