Description: |
|
The Chateau de Chambord, located in the Loire Valley of
Loir-et-Cher, France, was built between 1519 and 1547 CE. This
fine French Renaissance building, although impressive in both
size and architectural detail, was commissioned by Francis I of
France (r. 1515-1547 CE) to function as a hunting lodge where
the king and his entourage could pursue the abundant game in the
surrounding forest. The chateau has several innovative design
features which proved influential on other French monumental
buildings in the 16th century CE, and it remains one of the most
famous and visited buildings in France. Chateau de Chambord was
listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1981 CE.
