Description
In the 14th century, amidst the glory of King Charles VI's reign, the desire to showcase his might led to the transformation of a small, dilapidated fort from the 12th century into a strikingly elegant fortress: the Chateau de Pierrefonds. This grand construction reflects the architectural ingenuity of the era.
Your ticket grants you access to one of the most beautifully preserved monuments in the Oise department, situated in the Celtic region of Hauts-de-France. Included is a brochure in English and additional languages, allowing you to wander freely and appreciate the opulence of each room.
Within the walls of the Chateau, you’ll encounter a captivating collection of artworks, historical artifacts, and antique furnishings spanning various epochs in French history, from the Middle Ages through the Napoleonic era. Notably, it was Napoleon III who tasked the esteemed architect Viollet-le-Duc with restoring the castle to its current grandeur.
As you navigate through the Chateau de Pierrefonds, keep an eye out for the halls that have served as backdrops for renowned films and television series, including The Story of Joan of Arc and The Man in the Iron Mask, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio.
