The French Renaissance Chateau is modeled after the renaissance castles in France which were modeled after castles in Italy. Recognized for its castle-like dormers, towers and shell keeps, homes with French Renaissance archtecture often create the illusion of a protected castle with a psuedo draw-bridge effect. Grand gated entries give the illusion of a fortified fortress.
