Never intended to go here but accidentally saw this nice castle on the way to Cochem! It’s really nice and the historical importance quite excited the overall experience. I’m only sad that, I spent very less amount of time here. That’s when I thought to write a review about this castle. Do visit :)

Must see! Stop and take the small ferry boat. Listen to the stories of the great captain Johnny, kids can chase the ghost in the small castle. And enjoy wonderful views!

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.
