Château de Chantilly stands in Chantilly (Oise), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century, 18th century, fourth quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Chantilly castle actually combines two separate buildings: the small château built around 1560 by Jean Bullant for Constable Anne de Montmorency, and the large château rebuilt at the end of the 19th century by Honoré Daumet after the original was destroyed during the Revolution. Visitors can see the apartments of the Princes of Condé, reworked in the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as those of the Duke of Aumale, who bequeathed the entire estate to the Institut de France in 1886. The grounds also include the park, the Grandes Écuries and numerous garden features and statues.
