Description

Le Château de Chenonceau.

S'agit-il d'un pont ou d'un château.?

Le 20 juin 1940 les troupes allemandes atteignent les coteaux sur la rive nord du Cher.

Les ponts sur le Cher avaient été détruits.

Supposant, la présence de troupes Françaises vers Franceuil, les allemands postèrent une batterie de 105 mm sur les hauteurs dominant le village de Chisseau et tirèrent sur ce parc.

Le tir mal réglé, le château fut atteint. La toiture des galeries fut traversée de part en part, un projectile éclata sur l'escalier de pierre de la tour des Marques.

Un avion vient en appui des opérations terrestres et pilonne les douves du parc.

Les Allemands traversèrent la rivière et le château fut occupé. Les troupes cantonnées dans les dépendances avec leur matériel.

Après l'armistice, les autorités de l'armée d'occupation reconnurent au château la qualité de "monument historique".

Mais le château constituant un pont sur lequel la ligne de démarcation (frontière entre la zone libre et la zone occupée) pouvait être franchie, elles en interdirent l'accès et ne le permirent qu'au seul régisseur.

Le 7 juillet 1944, un avion américain bombarde le château. Les bombes tombent dans le Cher, dont une à proximité de la chapelle et détruit les vitraux d'origine. Les vitraux actuels sont dus au plus grand maître verrier des années 1950 : Max Ingrand. Deux mois plus tard les allemands s'enfuirent. Il était temps de penser aux réparations.


Is it a bridge or a castle. ?

June 20, 1940, German troops reached the hills on the north bank of the Cher .

The bridges over the Cher had been destroyed .

Assuming the presence of French troops to Franceuil , German stationed themselves a battery of 105 mm in the hills overlooking the village of Chisseau and fired at the park.

Shooting evil rule, the castle was reached. The roof of the galleries was crossing from side to side , a shot broke out on the stone steps of the tower of Brands .

A plane comes in support of land operations and pounded flukes park.

The Germans crossed the river and the castle was occupied . Troops stationed in the outbuildings with their equipment .

After the armistice, the authorities of the army of occupation recognized the quality of the castle " historical monument" .

But the castle forming a bridge on which the demarcation line (border between the free zone and the occupied zone ) could be reached, they banned the access to and the only one allowed regisseur .

July 7, 1944 , a U.S. aircraft bombed the castle. The bombs fell in the Cher , one near the chapel and destroyed the original stained glass windows. The current windows are due to the larger master glassmaker 1950 : Max Ingrand . Two months later the Germans fled. It was time to think about repairs.
