	Château de Chambord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal Château at Chambord, Loir-et-Cher, France is one of the most recognisable châteaux in the world because of its very distinct French Renaissance architecture that blends traditional medieval forms with classical Italian structures.
		The original design of the Château de Chambord was by Domenico da Cortona, but was altered considerably during the twenty years of its construction (1519‑1547).
		The final attempt to make use of the colossus came from the Comte de Chambord but after the Comte died in 1883, the castle was left to his sister's heirs, the Ducal family of Parma,Italy.
