Château de Fontaine-Henry, Renaissance castle in Fontaine-Henry, France.
The castle features intricate stone carvings on its facades and remarkably high roofs that exemplify French Renaissance architecture at its finest point.
Built in the 13th century as a fortress, the castle underwent major transformations in the 16th century by architect Blaise Le Prestre into a residential estate.
The interior rooms display notable paintings from masters including Rubens and Hyacinthe Rigaud, with a significant portrait of Maria Serra, mother of Louis XIV.
The castle opens daily except Tuesdays from June 10 to September 22, 2024, with guided tours requiring advance email reservations.
The Marquis of Oilliamson conducts special roof tours on the last Sunday of each month, allowing visitors to explore the highest castle roofs in France.
