Other Attractions
The Chateau de Chambord is the largest castle in Les Pays de la Loire. François I was instructed to build the castle in 1519. The work on it was disrupted by the Italian War in 1521. François I died in 1547 with the walls of the castle hardly built and the cost of the work being 444,070 livres, or $569,000. The castle was given, passed down, sold, shared, and abandoned throughout the years. It was used as a hunting lodge and a place to get away for a little while. The castle was not finished until 1685 by Louis XIV. The state bought the building for about $14,095,000 (11 million francs) in 1932.
