This is a chateau of a different style altogether: very classical and extraordinarily beautiful lines. The French Royals have never resided in Cheverny. It is a 'seigniory' or the property of the liege. The chateau, built in 1634 by Hirault de Cheverny, still belongs to a descendent of the marquis de Vibraye. It is best known now as ‘Chateau Molensloot’ from the Tin Tin stories.
