The Château de Chambord is a Renaissance masterpiece whose apparent perfection conceals countless enigmas. Today, the feats accomplished 500 years ago on the order of king Francis I continue to puzzle scientists and historians as they attempt to uncover the final secrets of its construction.

How did the builders design and construct a monument that appears so perfect? What do the anomalies, alterations, and experiments at the heart of the Château reveal?
