Château de Chambord

Château de Chambord is a Renaissance royal château in the Loire region of France, built around an ambitious arrangement of towers, courtyards, and ceremonial rooms. Château de Chambord combines a central keep with an elaborate roofline of chimneys, dormers, and lanterns. Château de Chambord's double-helix staircase and contrasting classical and medieval forms reveal the experimentation of French Renaissance palace design.
