Origin and history

Chenevières Castle is a building located in the commune of Montbouy, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This monument therefore remains a local heritage whose architectural or historical specificities are not documented in current data.

In the Centre-Val de Loire region, castles and manor houses have often played a central role in the social and economic organisation of rural areas. In Montbouy, as in other municipalities, these buildings could serve as seigneurial residences, agricultural management sites or symbols of local power. Their presence generally reflected the feudal or post-feudal structure of society, characterized by a predominantly agricultural economy and dependency relationships between inhabitants and landowners.
