The Castle of Villaviciosa de Od n is a palace fortress complex found in the small town of the same name near Madrid , Spain. It is located on Madrid Avenue no number . The first construction on the site was built in the 15th century by the Count of Chinch n Counts of Chinch n . On this building, in 1496 the Marquis of Moya, Andr s Cabrera y Beatriz Fern ndez de Bobadilla, built the first Castle. During the Revolt of the Comuneros , the captains Diego de Heredia y Antonio de Mesa, knocked down the castle in 1521. In 1583 don Diego Fern ndez de Cabrera y Bobadilla, third count of Chinch n, commissioned rebuilding to the royal architect Juan de Herrera , which gave the castle its more asymmetric profile. Two centuries later, in 1738, the King Philip V of Spain bought the county and granted the title of Count of Chinch n and ownership of the castle to the illegitimate brother of Ferdinand VI of Spain . He, in turn, commissioned Ventura Rodr guez to restore the castle and gave the locality its present name, Villaviciosa de Od n. On August 17, 1758, after the death of his wife B rbara de Barganza, Fernando VI moved to the fortress till he died. In the late 18th century, the Mar a Teresa de Borb n, 15th Countess of Chinch n Countess of Chinch n , whose portrait was painted by Goya , married the prime minister Manuel Godoy , favorite of Charles IV of Spain . In 1808, having separated from the Countess, Godoy was dismissed after the Mutiny of Aranjuez , and imprisoned in this castle, which had belonged to his father in law. Subsequently it became a series of government and military schools. It was sacked and taken by both sides during the Spanish Civil War . It now belongs to the government and houses the Archives of the Spanish Air Force. coord missing Spain DEFAULTSORT Villaviciosa de Odon Category Castles in Spain Category Buildings and structures in the Community of Madrid Spain struct stub es Villaviciosa de Od n ... more details
