Description

The royal Chateau de Chambord at Loir-et-Cher, France,.

One of the most recognizable castles in the world because of its distinctive French Renaissance architecture, this chateau, which was never completed, was constructed by King Francis I of France.
Chambord is the largest chateau in the Loire Valley; it was built to serve as a hunting lodge. The original design of the Chateau de Chambord is attributed to Domenico da Cortona; Leonardo da Vinci may also have been involved.
After the French Revolution, the building was left abandoned for a time. Fully restored, the chateau is now open to the public.
