La chapelle Saint-Hubert fut édifiée et sculptée entre 1491 et 1496 par des artistes flamands dans le pur goût gothique flamboyant en pierre et craie de Touraine (Tuffeau) sur ordre de Charles VIII, avant que celui-ci ne découvre l'architecture italienne. La chapelle sert ensuite d'oratoire à Anne de Bretagne, avant de devenir la dernière demeure présumée du corps de Léonard de Vinci, mort à Amboise en 1519.

Le linteau de la porte d'entrée représente la chasse de Saint-Hubert.
