Château de Chaumont, perched above the Loire River in Chaumont-sur-Loire, France, is a stunning example of Renaissance architecture combined with medieval elements. Originally built in the 10th century, the château was reconstructed in the 15th century after being destroyed by King Louis XI. It became a prominent Renaissance residence under the ownership of Catherine de' Medici, who hosted notable figures like Nostradamus and Ruggieri.
The château is renowned for its striking round towers and elegant interiors that reflect its aristocratic past. Today, it is part of the Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, hosting the annual International Garden Festival, which showcases innovative garden designs. Visitors can explore the beautifully landscaped grounds, enjoy panoramic views of the Loire Valley, and delve into the rich history embodied within its walls.
