Chateauesque homes mimic the grand châteaux of the French Renaissance, featuring steeply pitched roofs, elaborate towers or turrets, ornate dormers, and sculpted detailing. Limestone or brick exteriors lend a regal air, and interiors can be equally opulent.
Popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly among the American elite, Chateauesque was championed by architects like Richard Morris Hunt. Gilded Age industrialists built lavish estates referencing European aristocratic tastes, creating a legacy of castle-like mansions still admired for their grandeur.
