| Château de Chambord is a grand, Renaissance-style castle in Chambord, France. It features a distinctive blend of French medieval and classical Renaissance architecture. Notable for its ornate towers and intricate spires, the facade is constructed from pale stone, creating a striking contrast with the dark, steeply pitched roofs. The structure stands amid expansive, manicured lawns with lush greenery. The castle is famed for its elaborate double helix staircase, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, and its role as a hunting lodge for King Francis I of France. |
