Castle Clos-Luce, Loire Valley, France

And if today in this medieval architecture, ennobled carved stone, sounds the note of the Renaissance, it is only because the Clos-Luce was purchased by Charles VIII and became a royal domain. The act of sale, dated July 2, 1490 and recorded on parchment, is currently stored in the Clos-Luce, he was purchased for 3500 gold crowns.
Charles VIII made from Clos-Luce Castle royal residence, inviting for the purpose of Naples, architects, artists, stone carvers. He also ordered the building to Queen Anne of Brittany chapel of white sandstone.
