Chenonceau is one of the castles that are traditionally called the Castles of the Loire. It was built on a bridge over the Cher river, not far from the village of the same name Chenonceau. It was built in the 16th century by Thomas Boye, a collector of donations. Upon his death, King François I confiscated the castle as compensation for the financial disruptions for which Boyer was responsible. His son, King Henri II, worshiped him in the castle of his mistress, Diana of Poitiers. Later, when he died, the castle was privately owned, but open to the public.
