The Château de Cheverny in the Loire Valley was designed by Jacques Bougier, a sculptor-architect from Blois who trained under Salomon de Brosse. Philippe Hurault, who bought the property from Diane de Poitiers, was the client. He built it from 1624 to 1630, and the interiors were completed by about 1650. The page has no infobox, so no dates conflict.
The article names no style, though it says the design recalls the Palais du Luxembourg. It gives no materials or dimensions. The earlier fortified house dates to the early 16th century.
It was sold in 1802, bought back in 1824, opened to the public in 1914 and visited by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in 1963. The de Vibraye family still owns and runs it as a major tourist attraction, with a kennel of about 120 hunting hounds. The article gives no hours.
