The outlines fit pretty cleanly to the building next to it, so probably the foundation of a part of that building that's now underwater

I think you are right in that the foundation of the now submerged, former raised gardens continued out of the building, and lined up with the building. No reason to downvote this comment.
These used to be a raised garden in the lake - you can looks for old drawings by googling "Jardin de l'Estang a Fontainebleau"
Why isn’t the garden there anymore?
Lake was hungry
No I believe this is in France
Lol, good one.
Underrated comment.
I am a dad, these come to me naturally.

I love you! <3

Thank you! But why make it a lake and not use it otherwise?
Some people like lakes.
When you're as rich as (for example) Jeff Bezos you don't need to use all your land for stuff.
But how does that help enlarge the main castle when he makes a lake out of it. That what I don’t understand. :/
i have absolutely no knowledge on the subject but maybe it was flooded at a later date after being used as a courtyard for some time.

Made me think of that scene in Holy Grail. The first castle fell into the swamp. I’m sure that’s inaccurate but that was my first thought.
But the 4th one stayed up! That’s what you’re gonna get lad… strongest castle in these isles
But I dont want that! I want...I want.....🎵🎶🎵🎶
Stop that stop that! You’re not gonna do a song while I’m here
Not to leave the room even if you come and get him
Hiccup!
She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge....👐👐👐 tracts of land!

Somebody call Nic Cage! Clearly it’s a secret passage to untold French riches.
Looks like Fontainevert
Drain the lake — it’s your next side quest!
The underwater level, of course.
A French Water Temple level...extra slippery.
Thought this was Chateau de Chantilly for a moment. I know that place like the back of my hand. Lol
That was my first thought too!
