Chapelle du château de Chambord, Renaissance chapel in Château de Chambord, France.
The chapel, designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, features high vaulted ceilings, stone sculptures, and large windows that illuminate the interior space.
Construction of the chapel began in 1546 during the reign of King Francis I, marking a significant addition to the hunting lodge turned royal residence.
The chapel interior contains decorative elements that reflect both religious devotion and royal power through Renaissance architectural principles and symbolism.
The chapel remains open to visitors during regular castle hours, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the castle's visitor services.
The chapel's altar placement and orientation deviates from traditional church layouts, adapting to the castle's existing structure rather than following religious conventions.
