Il existait à l’origine une collégiale Saint-Florentin au château : c’est à cet endroit, selon sa volonté, que Léonard de Vinci fut inhumé.
La collégiale fut détruite en 1807, et c’est en 1863 que ses restes présumés, retrouvés lors de fouilles, furent transférés dans cette chapelle Saint-Hubert. Sa tombe fut refaite de 1934 à 1936 par le sculpteur Francis La Monaca.

The collegiate church was destroyed in 1807, and it was in 1863 that his alleged remains found during excavations, were transferred to the Saint-Hubert Chapel. His grave was rebuilt from 1934 to 1936 by the sculptor Francis La Monaca.
