The Ch^ateau de Chenonceau is a Loire castle located in Touraine , in the commune of Chenonceaux , in the department of Indre-et-Loire in the Center-Val de Loire region. Chenonceau with its famous two-storey gallery which dominates the Cher is one of the jewels of the architecture of the Loire Valley. Its borrowings from Italy and its French characteristics are clearly noticeable. Chenonceau is built, fitted out and transformed by women who are very different in their temperament. It was built by Katherine Briconnet in 1513, enriched by Diane de Poitiers and enlarged under Catherine de M'edicis . It becomes a place of contemplation with the white queen Louise of Lorraine , then it is saved by Louise Dupin during the French Revolution and finally, metamorphosed by Madame Pelouze . Due to the large number of female personalities who have been in charge of it, it is nicknamed "the Ladies' Castle". The private domain of Chenonceau has belonged to the Menier family since 1913 and is open to visitors. The castle has been classified as a historical monument since its inclusion on the 1840 list and the park by decree dated 7 novembre 1962. The building and its environment are integrated in the Loire Valley , classified as World Heritage of Unesco , since July 9, 2017.
