About the location

Château d'Angers

2 promenade du Bout du Monde, 49100 Angers

Maine-et-Loire

Pays de la Loire

The castle is composed of two elements: the fortress built by Saint-Louis in 1230 and the castle-residence of the dukes of Anjou. The fortress has 17 towers of about thirty meters high and 18 meters wide, built in an alternation of schist and tuffeau; the walls were reinforced in 1592 by a thick earth rampart; each of the gates was defended by a double harrow. From 1360, the castle, which became a ducal residence, is transformed: royal lodging, chapel built in the early 15th century, chatelet built in 1450\. In 1373, Duke Louis I of Anjou commissioned a series of tapestries on the theme of the Apocalypse, a masterpiece is registered with UNESCO.
