19th century

The Château de Chacenay is a castle situated in the commune of Chacenay, in the Aube département of France.[1]

History

Recorded since 1075, it was the fief of numerous great families over the years. Construction of the castle began in the 13th century.[1] The armoury room contains stone gargoyles that were carved by the same architect who carved the famous gargoyles of Notre Dame.Шаблон:Citation needed

Sited at the heart of a forest, in the Middle Ages it formed an impregnable fortress thanks to its ramparts, keep (now destroyed), ditches, drawbridge and towers. It was the meeting grounds for one of many of the crusades that happened throughout Europe.Шаблон:Citation needed

Damaged following the orders of Louis XI, it was over time reconstructed, and destroyed by fire during the French Revolution.

Since 1988, the castle has been owned by Panos and Lina Pervanas. It has been listed since 1990 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture, having been added to the inventory in 1926.[1] It is open to the public during the summer.Шаблон:Citation needed
