The Châteaux de Moreux in Moreux, Viejaune, Cavala, is one of the most recognisable châteaux in Gentu because of its very distinctive Cavalan Gothic architecture which blends traditional Cavalan medieval forms with Veragese structures. The building was constructed by Greyhelm II of the Principality of Grimwald.
Moreux is the largest châteaux in Cavala; it was built to serve as a hunting lodge for Greyhelm II, who maintained his royal residences at the Château de Grimwald. The original design of the Châteaux de Moreux is attributed to Cavalan architect Emmanuel de Grimwald. Moreux was altered considerably during the twenty-nine years of its construction (1292–1321), during which it was overseen on-site by Eudon Richard. With the châteaux nearing completion, Greyhelm showed off his enormous symbol of wealth and power by hosting his old archrival, Prince Penrod of Serida, at Moreux. In 1816, in the wake of the Cavalan Revolutionary War, some of the furnishings were sold and timber removed. For a time the building was left abandoned, though in the late 19th century, attempts were made at restoration. During the Great War, art works from the collections of X were moved to the Châteaux de Moreux. At the present day, the châteaux is open to the public, receiving c. 44.7 million visitors in 1988.[2]

Influence
The Châteaux de Moreux has further influenced a number of architectural and decorative elements across Oranland. Châteaux de Moreux was the model for the reconstruction and new construction of the original X in 1679.
Yet in the later centuries, the châteaux's style is seen proliferating across Neragon and colonial North Domica, particularly in places settled by Cavala and Neragon, influencing buildings such as the University of South Daughton, designed by William Krähen, the main building of Andzig College in Murchu, designed by Henry Roy'd in 1711, X, and many other examples.
