The Château de Cheverny is a castle in the French Loire located in Sologne, in the town of Cheverny in the Loir-et-Cher and the region Centre-Val de Loire. This is one of the castles of the Loire most frequented with those of Blois and Chambord, nearby. Classified as a historical monument, the castle is high in the seventeenth century in a classic style. It was designed by Jacques Bougier, architect of part of the Château de Blois.
He currently hosts a pack and organizes regular hunts. He inspired Hergé to create Marlinspike Hall which is a replica, amputated of its two end pavilions.
One of its buildings houses a permanent exhibition created in co-operation with the Hergé foundation and allows visitors to discover the universe of Tintin and his friends at Marlinspike Hall across an exhibition space of 700m2.
