Château de Polisy, Renaissance castle in Polisy, France
The castle features dual courtyards, complete with entrance wings, barns, stables, and an independent residence within its medieval stone walls.
Between 1537 and 1555, Jean de Dintenville, ambassador of François I to England, transformed the original fortified house into a Renaissance residence.
Artists from the French court, including Primatice and Dominique Florentin, who worked at Fontainebleau, contributed to the castle's artistic elements.
The castle requires extensive restoration work following a 1992 fire, with current projects focusing on waterproofing and structural reinforcement.
The National Museum of the Renaissance holds 28 square meters of the castle's original 1545 tile flooring, inscribed with 'FIDES SPES CHARITAS'.
