Beautiful Chateau de Pierrefonds is a medieval castle built from 1393-1407 by Louis I de Valois, Duke of Orléans. It is characteristic of defensive military architecture from the Middle Ages. Commissioned by Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte and restored by Viollet-le-Duc in 1850, Chateau de Pierrefonds has kept the original exterior from the 14th century military structural design. However, many interior restorations like polychrome paintings were new additions. You may recognize the castle as a location for films including the BBC series "Merlin," "The Messenger: The Story of "Joan of Arc," and "The Man in the Iron Mask" (1998).

    Beautiful old castle in Pierrefonds, France. Most of its facets are very well preserved. Very interesting architecture. Very nice place to be a venue of a private gathering. Was lucky enough to attend a wedding reception here in 2007 and it was wonderful.

    Chateau de Pierrefonds is quite impressive. From the moment you spot it on the road to the time you first stand at the foot of it's Stony walls, it simply wows. Though it was partially torn down to prevent it's use by enemies of the king, it has since been well restored. If you're anywhere near the area, it's definitely worth a couple hours to visit and explore! Side note, fans of the BBC show MERLIN will find the exterior quite familiar.
