Château de Ternay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Château de Ternay in the Loire Valley in the province of Poitou (Poitou-Charentes, France) was built by the Aviau de Ternay family. On twelfth-century foundations, the present château is the result of building campaigns from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries.
Charles Louis d'Arsac, Chevalier de Ternay (1722-1780), styled Chevalier de Ternay, born at the château, escorted the French troops of Rochambeau to join the American Revolution. Felled by a fever, he is buried in Trinity churchyard, Newport, Rhode Island.[1].
Still the seat of the comte and comtesse de Ternay, today the château is open for tours and overnight guests.
