CHANTILLY , a See also:town of See also:northern See also:France, in the See also:department of See also:Oise, 25 M. N. of See also:Paris on the Northern railway to St Quentin. Pop. (1906) 4632. It is finely situated to the See also:north of the See also:forest of Chantilly and on the See also:left See also:bank of the See also:river Nonette, and is one of the favourite Parisian resorts. Its name was See also:long associated with the manufacture, which has now to a See also:great extent decayed, of See also:lace and blonde; it is still more celebrated for its See also:chateau and its See also:park (laid out originally by A. Le See also:nitre in the second See also:half of the 17th See also:century), and as the See also:scene of the great See also:annual races of the See also:French See also:Jockey See also:Club. The chateau consists of the See also:palace built from 1876 to 1885 and of an older portion adjoining it known as the See also:chatelet. The old See also:castle must have been in existence in the 13th century, and in the reign of See also:Charles VI. the lordship belonged to See also:Pierre d'Orgemont, See also:chancellor of France. In 1484 it passed to the See also:house of See also:Montmorency, and in 1632 from that See also:family to the house of See also:Conde. See also:- LOUIS

The stables See also:close to the racecourse were built from 1719 to 1735 by Louis-See also:Henri, See also:duke of See also:Bourbon. Of the two splendid mansions existing at that See also:period known as the See also:grand chateau and the chatelet, the former was destroyed about the time of the Revolution, but the latter, built for See also:Anne de Montmorency by See also:Jean Bullant, still remains as one of the finest specimens of See also:Renaissance See also:architecture in France. The chateau d'See also:Enghien, facing the entrance to the grand chateau, was built in 1770 as a See also:guest-house. On the See also:death in 183o of the duke of Bourbon, the last representative of the house of Conde, the See also:estate passed into the hands of Henri, duc d'See also:Aumale, See also:fourth son of Louis Philippe.

Orleans was declared incapable of possessing See also:property in France, and Chantilly was accordingly sold by See also:auction. See also:Purchased by the See also:English bankers, See also:Coutts & Co., it passed back into the hands of the duc d'Aumale in 1872. By him a magnificent palace, including a See also:fine See also:chapel in the Renaissance See also:style, was erected on the See also:foundations of the See also:ancient grand chateau and in the style of the chatelet. It is See also:quadrilateral in shape, consisting of four unequal sides flanked by towers and built See also:round a courtyard. The whole See also:group of buildings as well as the See also:pleasure-ground behind them, known as the See also:Parterre de la Voliere, is surrounded by fosses supplied with See also:water from the Nonette.

The duc d'Aumale installed in the chatelet a valuable library, specially See also:rich in See also:incunabula and 16th century See also:editions of classic authors, and a collection of the paintings of the great masters, besides many other See also:objects of See also:art. By a public See also:act in 1886 he gave the park and chateau with its superb collections to the See also:Institute of France in See also:trust for the nation, reserving to himself only a See also:life See also:interest; and when he died in 1897 the Institute acquired full See also:possession.
