Monday's chateau in Centre-Val de Loire - Chateau de la Verrerie


Just 15 minutes outside of the town Aubigny-sur-Nère, in the department of Cher is the very Scottish looking Chateau de la Verrerie. It was built on land which had been given to John Stuart, Count of Darnley, in 1422, in  recognition of his loyal services during the 'Hundred Years War' in the battle against the English. The chateau we see today was not actually built until the end of the 15th century by his grandson Béraud.
