The chateau was extended on a bridge across the river, commissioned by Diane de Poitiers and built 1556-59 by Philibert de l'Orme, with a gallery added 1570-76 by Jean Bullant. Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de Medici and Louise Dupin have all contributed to the development of Chenonceau through the centuries. The chateau is listed as a historic monument.
