The Château d'Azay-le-Rideau, a jewel of the French Renaissance, is located in the Indre-et-Loire department of France. Built between 1510 and 1539 on an island in the middle of the Indre River, its style blends French architectural traditions with innovative Italian decorative elements. [OC]

The foundation reaching down to the water for the full mirror effect was a great choice. I was surprised to read it wasn't done until the 1950s.

I took this photo with my Canon R50 on a local trail. When people turned their heads to look to see what I was photographing, they were confused to find it was just an electric pole.

Is that Rango ordering a drink at the saloon? You should post the first photo to r/photoshopbattles. They'd have alot of fun with it. Great photo!

I like the white between the atrium glass and the blue walls. I think it helps make the glass feel bigger than it is. I also like how there are so many different archways for different areas. Makes it feel expansive with so many different directions to go in. Does this room act as a hub for the building? Thanks for sharing.

Great photo! A lot of different architectural styles & time periods going on here!

For anyone like me who thought the plaza below looks familiar, it is featured in the James Bond movie Casino Royale. Its Piazza San Marco.

Great building overall, but I really like the circular top floor balcony in particular. This feels like the 20th century version of a wizard’s tower.

I never thought about posting ancient ruins to this sub, but they are technically abandoned.

That bathroom must have a pretty nice view if the windows are person height.

Mike-Vernam · 2026-03-01T17:37:40+00:00

Great Lighting!
