Queen's apartments at the [Château de Chambord](https://www.worldhistory.org/Château_de_Chambord/), photograph by Babeth Étiève-Cartwright, France, 30 October, 2025.

Before the royal wing of the Château de Chambord, was completed, this was most likely the bedroom of king Francis I of France (r. 1515- 1547). Then, in the 17th century, it became the bedroom of [Maria Theresa](https://www.worldhistory.org/Maria_Theresa/) of Spain (r. 1660-1683), wife of king [Louis XIV of France](https://www.worldhistory.org/Louis_XIV_of_France/) (r. 1643-1715). The room is divided into two parts: one private area containing the queen's bed, and another public area where courtiers could watch her rise in the morning and retire for the night.
