Pierre Nepveu (Pierrot), called Trinqueau

After the return of François I from his Spanish captivity, in 1526, Nepveu was associated with Antoine de Troyes in the construction of the chateau of Chambord (Loir-et-Cher), France. It was probably designed by Nepveu, who, in an act of 1536 in the régistre de la baronnage d' Amboise, is called honneste homme Pierrot Nepveu, dit Trinqueau maistre de l'œuvre de maçonnerie du chantel de Chambord.

He completed, in 1526, the Hôtel de Ville of Beaugency (Loiret, France), and in that year was called to Orléans (Loiret) the build the Renaissance portion of the Hôtel de Ville, now a museum. He was employed on the Hôtel de Ville of Montargis and on the château of Blois.
