Château du Bois-Cornillé

Val-d´Izé, France

Château du Bois-Cornillé dates originally from the 13th century, but the current castle was built by Pierre Landais in the late 15th century. It was completely renovated in the 18th century and only the medieval tower survived. The chapel dates from 1721. The park was designed by Eugene Denis Bühler and Édouard André in 1876.

Beautiful and very well maintained park. What can we say about the welcome on a “Heritage Days” weekend? Although announced, no possibility of visiting anything in the castle...apart from the winter garden (that is to say go into this room to pay 6€ for the free visit of the park: the same price as the rest of the year "minimum" welcome from the chatelaine.

The parc is great and well preserved! The view is beautiful. A very nice place to go if you like nature and want to relax.

Superb castle nestled in lush greenery. Discovering the wooded and flowery park is ideal for relaxing. Allow 1h30 for the visit to enjoy all the little architectural and landscape surprises of this site. We were very kindly received.

Very nice place with a very nice park entrance 5 € to enjoy a 2 hour walk with a plan, part of the French garden and the rest rather in English Two ponds, one with very big fish and lots of pretty things to do.

Visit 2 people including 1 blind person. The unfriendly hostess refuses to apply 1 reduction. But only give 1 flyer! We discover that the castle cannot be visited. The park, rather 1 meadow and at the end of the forest. All the surrounding villages are flowery, the park practically nothing. Large trees have no name signs. We have better things to do in the area for more pleasant and free walks

Royal Palace

The Royal Palace was built in the first half of the 19th century as the Norwegian residence of King Charles III, who also reigned as king of Sweden and otherwise resided there, and is the official residence of the present Norwegian monarch. The crown prince resides at Skaugum in Asker west of Oslo. The palace has 173 rooms.

Until the completion of the Royal Palace, Norwegian royalty resided in Paleet, the magnificent town house in Christiania that the wealthy merchant Bernt Anker bequeathed to the State in 1805 to be used as a royal residence. During the last years of the union with Denmark it was used by the viceroys of Norway, and in 1814 by the first king of independent Norway, Christian Frederick.
