Château de la Chaize

The Château de la Chaize is a château in Odenas, Rhône, France. It was completed in 1676.[1] The project was financed by Louis XIV's personal chaplain, François de la Chaise, "and his grateful nephew, the original owner, named the chateau for his munificent uncle."[2] The architect was Jules Hardouin-Mansart, and André Le Nôtre designed the gardens. It has been listed as an official historical monument since April 27, 1972.[1]
