The Château de Pierrefonds is a castle situated in the commune of Pierrefonds in the Oise département (Picardy) of France. It is on the southeast edge of the Forest of Compiègne, northeast of Paris, between Villers-Cotterêts and Compiègne.
The Château de Pierrefonds includes most of the specific characteristics of defensive military architecture from the Middle Ages with great views of the area, fortressed towers and thick walls. A major restoration was done in the 19th century.
The Pierrefonds Castle is located in the French commune of Pierrefonds, about 80 km away from Paris. Its geographical situation on the side of the Compiègne Forest perfectly correlates with its impressive architecture and turns it into a truly enchanting place to find yourself in.
The castle was initially built back in the Middle Ages, sometime around the 12th century. At the end of the 14th century, King Charles VI gave it to his brother - Louis, the Duke of Orléans - who reassembled it and resided there until the end of his life. Unfortunately, the Medieval version of The Pierrefonds Castle was almost completely demolished during the 17th century. It remained no more than a beautiful ruin until Napoleon III decided to reconstruct it once again and adopt it as his imperial residence.
Touring the Pierrefonds Castle
Nowadays, The Pierrefonds Castle is a historical monument that offers all-year-round access for tourists from all over the world. There are various ways to experience the place - a self-guided tour with a personal booklet, a professionally-guided tour, a lecture tour (that needs to be previously booked), or an audio-guide tour.
The visits usually last about an hour and take you along several parts of the castle, including the chapel, the ceremonial room, the dungeon, and the covered way.
One of the best things about the castle is that it offers free entrance for all EU citizens and residents under the age of 26. It is also fully accessible for people with reduced mobility, has a free smartphone charging station, and a unique in-house boutique bookshop.
In the 12th century, a castle was built on this site. Two centuries later, in 1392, King Charles VI turned the County of Valois into a Duchy and gave it to his brother Louis, Duke of Orléans.
The castle is featured in several popular movies - The man with the Iron Mask, Three Musketeers featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, John Malkovich, Jeremy Irons and it is one of the most famous French Castles.

What a stunning castle! Did you have to pay to get inside the castle? It seems like you are always alone wherever you are! VIP experience for sure!
Yes for this castle you have to pay. No we were not alone here but it was a calm day. I always try to avoid filming people. 😉
MERLIN NEEDS TO COME BACK AHHHH
I heard about Merlin before but still didn't have the chance to watch it. On what channel was it?
Lovely castle! In what movie was it used? The restoration must have been very expensive! I guess Napoleon was a rich guy! 😀 ATB
Parts of the movie The Man in The Iron Mask with Leonardo Di Caprio 😉
This wasn't a movie but it was used for Merlin (BBC series) ;D
@@loadingbear1580 my daughter was a fan of that serie! 😁
Man in the Iron Mask filmed at Vaux De Comte,France
That is also correct. The Bastille prison was filmed in Pierrefonds.
Merlin’s castle what’s it’s purpose?
