The royal fortress of Chinon is a public monument interpreted as the place of Joan’s 1429 reception by Charles VII.
Context
Heritage can flatten a council into a legend of voices. The catalog already refused visions as Facts. The fortress visit is still a knowledge object.
Joan of Arc is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.
Why it matters
Heritage-access path. High confidence that the site is publicly interpreted; low on visitor-welfare coefficients.
A keep is not a procès edition. Gallica remains the text row.
Who was responsible
Contribution type and responsibility level for each recorded actor — not sole-author shorthand.

Complex: her documented Chinon reception is the historical subject. Public fortress opening is a later state act.
