The Château of Chambord, the most extraordinary of the French Renaissance châteaux, was built to look like a?
A. Roman cathedral with 440 rooms, 365 chimneys, 14 large staircases, and 70 small staircases.
B. medieval castle with 440 rooms, 365 chimneys, 14 large staircases, and 70 small staircases.
C. Romanesque monastery with 440 rooms, 365 chimneys, 14 large staircases, and 70 small staircases.
D. Buddhist temple with 440 rooms, 365 chimneys, 14 large staircases, and 70 small staircases.
The best approximation is ---B---. The castle features 440 rooms, 365 fireplaces, and 84 staircases. Four rectangular vaulted hallways on each floor form a cross-shape. So the design was closest to approximating a medieval castle.
However, the château was never intended to provide any form of defense from enemies; consequently the walls, towers and partial moat are purely decorative, and even at the time were an anachronism. some elements of the architecture - open windows, loggia, and a vast outdoor area at the top....borrowed from the Italian Renaissance architecture... are less practical in cold and damp northern France.
