The castle is a bulwark, huge and still very well preserved.
The museum in the castle contains the 14th century "Apocalypse Tapestry", which was created between 1377 and 1382.

The Angers fortress impresses with its ramparts and towers made of schist and limestone. Also called the castle of the Dukes of Anjou, the monument was a privileged witness to the History of France with the Viking invasions, the birth of the dynasty from which the famous dungeon builder Foulque Nerra came, the opposition of the Plantagenets and the Capetians, the reign of Saint Louis or the home of the Dukes of Anjou and Sicily.
