Immerse yourself in history at Angers Castle, a medieval fortress nestled in the heart of Angers. Built in the 9th century by the Counts of Anjou and later expanded in the 13th century, this fortress offers a captivating blend of romance and heritage. Its strategic location by the Maine River adds to its allure.
Explore the 17 towers and marvel at the enchanting medieval fortifications that exude a fairy-tale charm. Inside, gain priority access to witness the extraordinary Apocalypse tapestry, a 140m long masterpiece showcasing the historical narrative of 14th-century France during the Hundred Years War, plague, and famine. Admire the intricate details of the 90 scenes depicted on the six-meter-high panels, elegantly displayed in a well-lit gallery.
