Amboise Castle
The first Renaissance decorative motifs were by Fra Giocondo and Domenico da Cortona, Italian mason builders employed by Charles VIII. Charles VIII discovered the Italian Renaissance style during his expeditions in the 1490s and commissioned improvements and renovations, making Amboise an excellent example of early Renaissance architecture. His successor, Louis XII, built the Renaissance wing perpendicular to the Gothic wing.
The gardens of the Amboise Castle feature a charming mix of immaculately clipped cones and box balls. They wonderfully complement the grand architecture of the castle. The simple color scheme of green, white, and grey along with a bit of pink and blue, perfectly suits the garden layout and castle. A new garden was added in 2005, featuring geometric stone slabs and rosemary, jasmine, cyprus, and laurel.
One of the highlights of the Castle is the two towers - Tour Heurtault and Tous des Minimes. The towers don’t have stairs leading to the top and instead have a gentle slope. The entrance to the towers is located on the quai, and the slope allows carriages and soldiers on horseback to reach the garden terrace.
Built between 1491 and 1496, the Chapel of Saint Hubert is a Gothic chapel that is perched right on the edge of the wall of the castle. Although small, the chapel is exquisitely built and tells the story of Saint Hubert. The chapel features some beautiful sculptures and architecture and is a must-see for guests.
The Chapel of Saint Hubert is also renowned for being the resting place of the Italian genius, Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci was originally buried in the church of St. Florentin in Amboise, but following its demolition during the French Revolution, the remains of the Italian genius were moved to the Chapel of Saint Hubert.
