Description
The royal Ch�teau at Amboise is a ch�teau located in Amboise, in the Indre-et-Loire d�partement of the Loire Valley in France. Confiscated by the monarchy in the 15th century, it became a favoured royal residence and was extensively rebuilt. King Charles VIII died at the ch�teau in 1498 after hitting his head on a door lintel. The ch�teau fell into decline from the second half of the 16th century and the majority of the interior buildings were later demolished, but some survived and have been restored, along with the outer defensive circuit of towers and walls. It has been recognised as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1840.
