CHAMBORD year 14. VII. 1922.
The Castle of Chambord situated in a policy of 13.600 acres, is surrounded by 20 miles of walls.
It is built in the most elaborate Renaissance style and was commenced in 1526 by order of Francis I whose favourite residence it became. It was finished under the reign of Henri II. Many changes were carried out by Louis XIV, Marshal Saxe and Stanislaus Leczinski. Charles V came at Chambord in 1539, Henri II, Francis II, Charles IX and later Louis XIV resided in the Castle. From 1735 to 1733 Stanislaus Leczinski dwelt at Chambord, Louis XV presented it in 1748 to Marshal Saxe and Napoleon I, in 1809 to Marshal Berthier from whose widow it was purchased in 1821 by a national subscription on behalf of the future Count of Chambord. It now belongs to the heirs of the Duke of Parma. The Church near the Castle was built for the parish, at the expenses of the Count of Chambord, Duke of Bordeaux.

La commune de Chambord, sur laquelle se trouve le Château, est complètement entourée par un mur de 35 kilomètres de tour.
