The royal Chateau de Chambord at Chambord, Loir-et-Cher, France, is one of the most recognizable ch�teaux in the world because of its very distinct French Renaissance architecture which blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Renaissance structures.[nb 1] The building, which was never completed, was constructed by King Fran�ois I.
Chambord is the largest ch�teau in the Loire Valley ; it was built to serve as a hunting lodge for Fran�ois I, who maintained his royal residences at Ch�teau de Blois and Ch�teau d'Amboise. The original design of the Ch�teau de Chambord is attributed, though with several doubts, to Domenico da Cortona. Some authors claim that the French Renaissance architect Philibert Delorme had a considerable role in the ch�teau's design,[2] and others have suggested that Leonardo da Vinci may have designed it.
Chambord was altered considerably during the twenty-eight years of its construction (1519�1547) during which it was overseen on-site by Pierre Nepveu. With the ch�teau nearing completion, Fran�ois showed off his enormous symbol of wealth and power by hosting his old archnemesis, Emperor Charles V at Chambord.
