Having belonged to the lords of Marques from the 13th century, it was razed in 1411 and in 1513 came into the possession of Thomas Bohier (d 1524), a financier from Tours who became Deputy Treasurer to Louis XII. He set about an ambitious scheme (c. 1514–22) to rebuild the château on the foundations of an old water-mill on the right bank of the river; Diane de Poitiers, mistress of Henry II, and Catherine de' Medici, Henry's wife, were responsible for further 16th-century additions. The present pale stone building under tall slate roofs is one of the most picturesque of the Loire Valley châteaux. It consists of a square corps de logis and a narrow, two-storey gallery that spans the river on a series of arches. In 1536 Chenonceaux passed to Francis I in settlement of Bohier's debts; in 1547 his son Henry II gave it to Diane de Poitiers, who commissioned Philibert de L'Orme to build a covered bridge linking the château to the left bank of the Cher. Only the five-arched bridge was built (1556–9), extending off-axis from the south front. After Catherine de' Medici acquired Chenonceaux in 1560, the bridge was topped by a two-storey gallery (1576–7) to the designs of Jean Bullant, in a Mannerist style recalling his similar work at the château of La Fère-en-Tardenois, Aisne. This was the start of an ambitious programme, soon abandoned, that would have made Chenonceaux into one of the largest houses in France. This scheme, probably by Bullant, though some scholars have suggested de L'Orme's involvement, is recorded in a plan published in Jacques Androuet Du Cerceau's Les Plus Excellents Bastiments de France (Paris, 1576–9). The alterations made at this time to the east and north façades were effaced during mid-19th-century restoration. Formal gardens were laid out for Diane de Poitiers to the east and for Catherine de' Medici to the west.
