Châteaudun (French pronunciation: [ʃɑtodœ̃] ) is a commune in the Eure-et-Loir department in northern France. It is a sub-prefecture of the department. It was the site of the Battle of Châteaudun during the Franco-Prussian War.

Geography

[edit ]

Châteaudun is located about 45 km northwest of Orléans, and about 50 km south-southwest of Chartres. It lies on the river Loir, a tributary of the Sarthe.

History

[edit ]
France in 1180 when Angevin kings of England held all the red territories and Chateudun lay near its border.

Châteaudun (Latin Castrodunum), which dates from the Gallo-Roman period, was in the middle ages the capital of the County of Dunois.[3]

The streets, which radiate from a central square, have a uniformity due to the reconstruction of the town after fires in 1723 and 1870.[3]

Employment

[edit ]

The area is rich agricultural land, but a major local employer is the Châteaudun Air Base just to the east of the town, and much larger than the town itself.
