intérieur du Château de Valençay - Val de Loire - france

La « Chambre de Madame de Staël »

Le château de Valençay voit le jour au temps de Louis XIII. Il est bâti par Jacques d’Estampes à la place de l’ancienne forteresse féodale. Son architecture mêle harmonieusement le style Renaissance naissant et le Classicisme.

A la fin du XVIIIème siècle, la demeure se voit dotée d’une nouvelle aile et ceint d’un parc de 12.000 hectares. En 1803, elle devient la propriété du prince de Talleyrand.

Au cours de la seconde guerre mondiale, le duc de Valençay fit valoir son titre de Prince de Sagan, une principauté neutre d’Europe de l’Est. Le château fut déclaré zone neutre. Ceci permit d’y abriter des sculptures en provenance du Louvre, dont la "Vénus de Milo" ou la "victoire de Samothrace".
