A sweaty climb (bicycle), but the view and the sight of the castle are impressive. It was not possible to visit the castle.

Very nice property, but no entry possible as it is private.

You can also find such a private castle while collecting mushrooms. There have been nicer days, but an attractive location.

Very impressive building in great condition (as far as an assessment is possible). I think it's great that this castle has survived the centuries to tell of its eventful and incredible history. I recommend the Wikipedia article on the castle to everyone.

The castle is wonderful, unfortunately it is privately owned so it is not open to visitors. But you can say that it looks wonderful even from a distance.

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.
