Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire and its collection

Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire
Source

One of the key landmarks in Chaumont-sur-Loire is the Chaumont Castle. The castle is situated on a steep slope, providing a dramatic backdrop to the commune. The castle has a rich history, having been of great importance to the Counts of Blois during the feudal times.

Ownership of the Chaumont Castle

In 1560, the Chaumont Castle came into the possession of Caterina de’ Medici. She forced Diane de Poitiers to exchange it for the Chenonceau Castle. This historical event adds to the intrigue and charm of the castle, making it a point of interest for visitors.

Restoration of the Chaumont Castle

In 1875, the Chaumont Castle was purchased by the heiress of a wealthy manufacturer who was married to a Prince de Broglie. The couple invested heavily in restoring the castle and recreating a semblance of courtly life. This period of restoration has greatly contributed to the castle's current grandeur and appeal to tourists.
