Château d'Anet, Renaissance castle in Anet, France.
The Château d'Anet features three main courtyards, symmetrical architecture, and exterior decorations including the Fountain of Diana and portal reliefs by Benvenuto Cellini.
The castle was constructed between 1547 and 1552 by architect Philibert de l'Orme for Diane de Poitiers, who received it as a gift from King Henry II of France.
The architecture combines French Renaissance design principles with Italian influences, setting new standards for French château construction during the 16th century.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds, Diane's preserved bedchamber, and the chapel through guided tours available on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
The castle introduced one of France's first Italianate parterre gardens, designed by Jacques Mollet, who later trained his son Claude to become gardener for three French kings.
