About Château de Javarzay
Château de Javarzay is a 15th-century castle located in the commune of Chef-Boutonne, in the Deux-Sèvres department of France. The castle was originally built in the late 14th century by the De La Rochefoucauld family, and has undergone several renovations throughout its history. The most significant of these was undertaken in the 16th century by the La Trémoïlle family, who added several towers and defensive structures to the castle. The castle is surrounded by a moat and a park that features several gardens, including a French-style garden, an English-style garden, and a vegetable garden. The interior of the castle features period furnishings and decorative elements, including tapestries, paintings, and ceramics.
