Château de Chamarande, Art museum and castle in Chamarande, France.

The rectangular castle structure stands surrounded by a moat, featuring pavilions at the entrance and service wings alongside the main living quarters.

The original castle dates back to 811, established by Arteld, brother of Charlemagne's biographer, before the current structure was built in 1654.

The castle houses a contemporary art center organizing exhibitions and festivals, while maintaining the historical architecture of Louis XIII period.
