Construit par Charles V, tous les rois de France jusqu’à Louis XIV y ont séjourné, témoignant ainsi de l'importance de ce lieu. Louis XV détruit le château originel pour mieux le reconstruire, puis Louis XVI poursuit son édification. Il sera réaménagé sous Napoléon Ier et Napoléon III. L'originalité et la beauté du plus grand château néo-classique français, la qualité de ses décors intérieurs et de son mobilier, constituent un ensemble unique. Aux côtés de Versailles et de Fontainebleau, le Château de Compiègne est l'une des trois plus importantes résidences royales et impériales françaises. Aujourd’hui, les visiteurs peuvent y découvrir les Appartements royaux et impériaux, le Musée du Second Empire, le Musée de l’Impératrice (réouverture en 2021) et le Musée national de la Voiture.
