Wonderful Castle. With respect to the current owner and privacy it would be wonderful idea having small portion of the magnificent building dedicated to tourists. We do exhibit Imperial Sterling Silver, Bavarian, Hungarian fine China and art work including jewelry @ B+B at Sunbury Cove Winery CA

The castle is a private ground not accessible for tourists today. It has an interesting history and hopefully bright future as it looks nice from outside and has a good location near Thaya river. Unfortunately, there is not much around that may attract attention of bypassers.

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.
