The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Construction de la fin du 14e siècle (vers 1370-1390) , hormis le pavillon de la cuisine et l'escalier à vis du 19e siècle. Les canonnières ainsi que le logis ont été remaniés au 15e siècle. Le grand toit qui recouvre les créneaux du logis date sans doute du 17e siècle. Celui du donjon a été remanié au 19e. De nombreuses fenêtres ont été ouvertes au 16e siècle. L'entrée actuelle au sud dans l'enceinte a remplacé, au 19e siècle, l'ancienne entrée bouchée à l'ouest. Le lieu de Chambord est cité dès 1276. Chambord paraît être une forteresse conservée de la guerre de Cent ans, et constitue un bon exemple d'architecture civile fortifiée dans le Bourbonnais au 13e et 14e siècle.

History
Construction of the late 14th century (circa 1370-1390), except for the kitchen pavilion and the spiral staircase of the 19th century. The gun loops as well as the dwelling have been altered in the 15th century. The large roof which covers the crenellations of the dwelling dates probably from the 17th century. That of the keep was altered in the 19th century. Numerous windows were opened in the 16th century. The present entrance to the south within the enclosure replaced, in the 19th century, the former entrance blocked to the west. The place of Chambord is cited as early as 1276. Chambord appears to be a fortress preserved from the Hundred Years' War, and constitutes a good example of fortified civil architecture in the Bourbonnais in the 13th and 14th centuries.
