Amboise - Château
The "Château d'Amboise rises over the town.
It´s owner Louis d'Amboise had unsucessfully plotted against Louis XI and was condemned to be executed in 1431. King Charles VII (aka "le Bien-Servi") pardoned him but took his château at Amboise.
For about two centuries the château was a favourite of French kings. Over many decades the château got rebuilt. First in flamboyant Gothic later under Italian architects in Renaissance style.
It was here, where Charles VIII died in 1498, afte after he hit his head on a door lintel. Francis I was raised here. He later invited Leonardo da Vinci to Amboise. Leonardo arrived in 1515 and lived here upto his death in 1519.
Following his last will, Leonardo got buried on the graveyard of Saint Florentin, a collegiate, in Amboise. In 1874 the bones got transferred to the Saint-Hubert chapel, part of the château, so the tomb now is in the chapel seen here.
