The reign of the Chateauneufs ended in 1456.In 1457 the Duke of Burgundy offered the fortress to Philippe Pot, a Knight of Saint Michael. From the 14th to the 17th centuries, wealthy merchants built houses around the fortress at Chateauneuf - many of which, including the ones in this painting, still survive today.
