Chateau de Chambord

Famous for its unique Renaissance architecture, Chateau de Chambord is the largest and one of the most famous Chateaux of the Loire Valley, thanks to its unique architectural style that blends classical  Renaissance structures with traditional French medieval forms.

Built to be used as a hunting lodge, legends say that one of the brains behind the unique design of the castle was none other than the maestro himself- Leonardo Da Vinci. Since the early days of its construction period in the early 1500s, it has also faced many architectural alterations due to historical events followed by extensive restoration works in the 19th century.

The design is similar to that of a typical castle with corner towers, a keep, and a moat to defend the castle. But the design gets beautified with the French Renaissance architecture and the numerous artworks that it houses. All these led it to become the inspiration for the castle in Beauty & The Beast.
