Chantilly Castle

Chateau de Chantilly
France, Paris
Chantilly Castle is located in the commune of the same name near Paris. The history of the estate dates back to the end of the 15th century, when the aristocratic family of Montmorency took possession of these lands. Surrounded by a vast park, the architectural complex consists of several buildings, the most significant of which is the so-called Small Castle dating back to the 16th century. The New Castle, built in the Neo-Renaissance style at the end of the 19th century, deserves special attention. It reproduces the architectural forms of the Grand Castle, destroyed during the French Revolution. Among non-residential buildings, a special place is occupied by the famous hippodrome, where horse races are still held, as well as the stable building, founded in 1719 (now the Horse Museum is open here). The last owner of the castle - the Duke of Omalsky - bequeathed it, along with a library and an art gallery, to the Institute of France.

The trip was planned from Paris in advance, we traveled by train quite quickly, despite the distance of about 50 km. We drove up from the station by bus, but returned on foot, it's not very far. At the entrance we bought tickets with a visit to the large stables, they are not much more expensive, but it is interesting (included: horses, museum and show program). Too bad we didn't have time to walk around the park. It took a lot of time to visit the castle, a lot of exhibits, rooms, paintings ...you can devote the whole day only to the castle.
