## Commentary

The Château de Richelieu \(Indre-et-Loire\) was an enormous 17th century château \(castle, or manor house\) built by the French clergyman, nobleman, and statesman Cardinal Richelieu \(1585–1642\) in Touraine. It was demolished for building materials in 1805 and almost nothing of it remains today. The engraving shows the reconstruction of the façade on the garden side.
