Château royal de Senlis, Royal castle and Saint-Maurice priory in Senlis, France.
The royal castle stands against the Gallo-Roman wall opposite the cathedral, featuring medieval towers and architectural elements from multiple periods.
In 987, Hugh Capet was elected King of France at this castle, marking the beginning of the Capetian dynasty's rule over France.
The castle complex includes the Musée de la Vénerie, displaying collections related to hunting traditions and local heritage within its preserved structures.
The castle ruins and priory grounds form a public park that opens daily except Tuesdays, offering access to centuries of French architectural evolution.
Saint Louis integrated his royal apartments into a third-century tower and established the Saint-Maurice Priory on the castle grounds in 1264.
