Comment

Built in the heart of the largest enclosed forest park in Europe (around 50 km2 surrounded by a 32 km-long wall), it is the largest of the Loire castles. It boasts an ornamental garden and a hunting park that have been classified as historic monuments. Chambord is the only royal estate to have survived intact since its creation.
The site originally housed a feudal motte, as well as the former château of the Counts of Blois. The origins of the present château date back to the 16th century and the reign of King François I of France, who oversaw its construction from 1519. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Château_de_Chambord

Early in his reign, François I began construction of Château de Chambord on a hunting estate acquired by Louis XII. Although Leonardo da Vinci was probably involved in the plans, as was the Italian architect Boccador, Chambord remains a Renaissance château firmly rooted in the heritage of French medieval architecture. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/François_Ier_%28roi_de_France%29
