5\u00b0 giorno: Variante per Chateau d’Uss\u00e9<\/b><\/p>\n
Il castello di Uss\u00e9 \u00e8 un castello gotico e rinascimentale situato sulle rive del fiume Indre, nel comune di Rigny-Uss\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Un primo castello fu edificato nel XII secolo su un’alta terrazza dominante la valle del fiume ai margini della foresta di Chinon ma l’attuale complesso, che mostra la presenza di due principali stili architettonici, chiaramente visibili nella corte interna, venne ricostruito a partire dal XV secolo, una volta entrato in possesso della famiglia de Bueil.<\/p>\n
Il castello aveva forma di un quadrilatero circondante un cortile centrale, con una torre principale, di maggiore diametro, all’angolo sud-ovest. Intorno al perimetro correva un cammino di ronda, che in seguito venne coperto. L’ala sud ospitava una galleria aperta a portico al piano terra, che venne distrutta per la costruzione di altri ambienti nel XVII secolo. Gli appartamenti padronali si trovavano nell’ala ovest.<\/p>\n
Il castello pass\u00f2 quindi nel 1485 alla famiglia d’Espinay, che prosegu\u00ec i lavori, con la ricostruzione dell’ala ovest. Tra il 1521 e il 1538 venne costruita la cappella, dedicata a sant’Anna. La cappella, in forme gotiche, presenta una ricca decorazione rinascimentale. Vi si conserva una “Vergine con il Bambino” di Luca della Robbia.<\/p>\n
Altri proprietari si successero a partire dal 1557 e nel XVII secolo venne abbattuta l’ala settentrionale, per poter godere del panorama sul fiume. In questa occasione venne allungata l’ala ovest in forme neo-rinascimentali e fu collocata una nuova scala all’angolo sud-ovest. Alla fine del secolo si aggiunse inoltre il padiglione Vauban, affacciato sui giardini a nord-ovest. I giardini alla francese, sistemati su terrazze digradanti, furono ispirati da Le N\u00f4tre, architetto del re Luigi XIV.<\/p>\n
Attualmente \u00e8 propriet\u00e0 privata (famiglia de Blacas) ma \u00e8 aperto alla visita.<\/p>\n
All’interno si conservano una stanza destinata ad un’eventuale visita del re (che tuttavia non avvenne mai), con arredi del XVII secolo, collezioni di arazzi e di armi. Notevole tra gli arredi uno scrittoio fiorentino del XVI secolo, in legno di pero ed ebano, con incrostazioni in madreperla ed avorio e dotato di ben 49 cassetti.<\/p>\n
Curiosit\u00e0: Charles Perrault, ospite dei proprietari del castello durante le vacanze estive, vi ha scritto e ambientato le favole della Bella addormentata nel bosco e del Gatto con gli stivali.<\/p>\n","modified":"2020-06-08T10:58:14","noDetails":false,"noInteraction":false,"imageGallery":[{"src":"https:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chateau-usse-768x321.jpg","id":9590,"caption":"Fonte: https:\/\/www.chateaudusse.fr"},{"src":"https:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/vuechateau2-768x340.jpg","id":13667,"caption":"Credits:www.chateaudusse.fr"},{"src":"https:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chapelle_dUss\u00e9-768x1024.jpg","id":9588,"caption":"Fonte: wikipedia"}],"image":"https:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chateau-usse-768x321.jpg","taxonomy":{"activity":[84]},"accessibility":{"mobility":{"check":false,"description":""},"hearing":{"check":false,"description":""},"vision":{"check":false,"description":""},"cognitive":{"check":false,"description":""},"food":{"check":false,"description":""}},"locale":"it","source":"https:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/track\/9635","wp_edit":"http:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=9635&action=edit","translations":{"en":{"id":10234,"name":"D5-Deviation for Chateau d'Uss\u00e9","web":"https:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/\/5-giorno-variante-per-chateau-dusse\/?lang=en","source":"https:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/track\/10234","description":"
Day 5: Deviation for Chateau d’Uss\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n Uss\u00e9 is a castle in the Indre-et-Loire d\u00e9partement, in France. The stronghold at the edge of the Chinon forest overlooking the Indre Valley was first fortified in the eleventh century by the Norman seigneur of Uss\u00e9, Gueldin de Saumur, who surrounded the fort with a palisade on a high terrace. The site passed to the Comte de Blois, who rebuilt in stone.<\/p>\n In the fifteenth century, the ruined castle of Uss\u00e9 was purchased by Jean V de Bueil, a captain-general of Charles VII who became seigneur of Uss\u00e9 in 1431 and began rebuilding it in the 1440s; his son Antoine de Bueil married in 1462 Jeanne de Valois, the biological daughter of Charles VII and Agn\u00e8s Sorel, who brought as dowry 40000 golden \u00e9cus. Antoine was heavily in debt and in 1455, sold the ch\u00e2teau to Jacques d\u2019Espinay, son of a chamberlain to the Duke of Brittany and himself chamberlain to the king; Espinay built the chapel, completed by his son Charles in 1612, in which the Flamboyant Gothic style is mixed with new Renaissance motifs, and began the process of rebuilding the fifteenth-century ch\u00e2teau that resulted in the sixteenth-seventeenth century aspect of the structure to be seen today. In the seventeenth century Louis I de Valentinay, comptroller of the royal household, demolished the north range of buildings in order to open the interior court to the spectacular view over the parterre terrace, to a design ascribed to Andr\u00e9 Le N\u00f4tre. Valentinay’s son-in-law was the military engineer Vauban, who visited Uss\u00e9 on numerous occasions. The tradition maintained at Uss\u00e9 is that this was the castle Charles Perrault had in mind when writing “The Sleeping Beauty”. Later Uss\u00e9 passed to the Rohan. In 1802 Uss\u00e9 was purchased by the duc de Duras; as early as March 1813, low-key meetings were held at Uss\u00e9 among a group of Bourbon loyalists, who met to sound out the possibilities of a Bourbon Restoration: such men as Tr\u00e9mouille, duc de Fitzjames, the prince de Polignac, Ferrand, Montmorency and the duc de Rochefoucault attended.Here later Fran\u00e7ois-Ren\u00e9 de Chateaubriand worked on his M\u00e9moires d’Outre-Tombe as the guest of duchesse Claire de Duras.<\/p>\n In 1885 the comtesse de la Rochejaquelein bequeathed Uss\u00e9 to her great-nephew, the comte de Blacas. Today the ch\u00e2teau belongs to his descendent Casimir de Blacas d’ Aulps the 7th Duke of Blacas.<\/p>\n Famed for its picturesque aspect, Uss\u00e9 was the subject of a French railroad poster issued by the Chemin de Fer de Paris \u00e0 Orl\u00e9ans in the 1920s and was one of several that inspired Walt Disney in the creation of many of the Disney Castles.<\/p>\n Uss\u00e9 was classified as a monument historique in 1931 by the French Ministry of Culture.<\/p>\n"}},"web":"https:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/track\/5-giorno-variante-per-chateau-dusse\/","color":"#ff3838","from":"","to":"","ref":"","ascent":"+ 1 m","descent":"- 1 m","distance":2.7,"duration:forward":"","duration:backward":"","cai_scale":"","id_pois":[9428,9430,9429],"related":{"poi":{"related":[9428,9430,9429],"neighbors":[],"roadbook":[]}},"computed":{"distance":2.7,"ascent":0,"descent":0,"ele:from":37,"ele:to":37,"ele:min":34,"ele:max":46},"ele:from":37,"ele:to":37,"ele:min":34,"ele:max":46,"bbox":"0.28768,47.25047,0.29292,47.261229","bbox_metric":"32024,5983053,32608,5984818","rb_images":["9635_624x491_3300_0.png","9635_624x491_3300_1.png","9635_624x491_3300_2.png","9635_624x491_3300_3.png"]},"geometry":{"type":"LineString","coordinates":[[0.287837,47.261229,37],[0.289169,47.256625,34],[0.290993,47.250564,44],[0.29247,47.250884,46],[0.29292,47.250839,46],[0.292892,47.250783,46],[0.292491,47.250795,46],[0.290919,47.25047,44],[0.290441,47.251917,36],[0.289057,47.25631,34],[0.28768,47.261169,37]]}}
