Petit et Château Neuf - Chateau de Chantilly (Chantilly/FR)
Petit and Château Neuf, it's surrounded by a canal, an impressive sight on the top of a hill. The castle stands on the site of a previous medieval fortress and the domain consists of several parts: the Petit Château (also the Captain's House), which dates from the 16th century and is still in its original state, the Great Stables from the 18th century, also used as museum just like the Château Neuf, originally also from the 16th century, but is was destroyed during the French Revolution but rebuilt again.

Chantilly: Chateau de Chantilly - Chateau de France
Château de Chantilly - a historic castle located in the town of Chantilly, France. The site (Est. 1358) comprises two attached buildings: the Petit Château (Est. 1560), and Château Neuf, built by architect Honoré Daumet between 1875 and 1881 (destroyed during the French Revolution, rebuilt by Henri d'Orléans, duc d'Aumale). Both castles, the Chantilly Racecourse, Grandes Écuries (the Stables) and surrounding 115-hectare (285 acre) park designed by André Le Nôtre are listed monuments historiques.
Musée Condé - the château's art gallery houses one of the finest collections of paintings in France after the Louvre. In addition, the library of the Petit Château contains one of the largest collections ancient books and manuscripts, some of them very precious historical works of art.
