A fantastic place to spend the day with the little ones in an equipped park like few others in Salento, with a breathtaking view of the castle.

Nice castle from the outside only it was not possible to visit it because it was closed.

Beautiful, well-kept park, but closed castle not open to visitors

Nothing to complain about the beautiful town, so much to say about a little bar that with its ambiguous characters obscures the beautiful part of this place

Château de Chantilly

The Château de Chantilly comprises two attached buildings: the Petit Château built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the Grand Château, which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s. Owned by the Institut de France, the château houses the Musée Condé. It is one of the finest art galleries in France and is open to the public.

The estate"s connection with the Montmorency family began in 1484. The first mansion (now replaced by the Grand Château) was built in 1528–1531 for the Constable Anne de Montmorency by Pierre Chambiges. The Petit Château was also built for him, around 1560, probably by Jean Bullant. In 1632, after the death of Henri II, it passed to the Grand Condé who inherited it through his mother, Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency.

Several interesting pieces of history are associated with the château during the 17th century.
