It is really facinating to even think they have built these marvels of structures during that time that not only have beauty but were also built with planning, as you said, they were built keeping in mind the proper light availability, thinking about winter, summer et cetera.

I haven't visited any of the chateau but came to know about them when I was in 12th standard, read about a chateau in Prisoner of Zenda back in nintees. Have seen photographs of many chateau since then and have a wish to visit at least least one in my life time.

Excellent photographs, loved them.
