General presentation

Castle of Chantilly is one of the jewels of French heritage. It is also the work of a man of exceptional destiny: Henry of Orleans, Duke of Aumale, son of the last king of the French, Louis-Philippe. This prince, considered the greatest collector of his time, made Chantilly the jewel of his innumerable masterpieces and precious manuscripts. The castle has survived the centuries as the Duke of Aumale bequeathed it in 1886 to the Institut de France.
