Timeline

Origin and history

Château des Cheneaux is a building located in the commune of Sainte-Montaine, 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 partially mysterious for local historians.

The castles of this region, often linked to feudal history or the Renaissance, played a central role in social and economic organization. They served as seigneurial residences, defence places or symbols of power. In Sainte-Montaine, as elsewhere in the Centre-Val de Loire, these buildings reflected local dynamics, between agriculture, crafts and relations between lords and peasants.
