Tips
Long an impregnable fortress, Clisson Castle is a model of a fortified castle. Built by the powerful Clisson family from the 12th century, this castle became a strategic point protecting the border of the Duchy of Brittany in the 15th century. In 1793, during the Vendée War, the fortress was burned and partially destroyed. Today, Clisson Castle still offers many examples of defensive architecture: archers, gunboats, stunners, etc.Ref: enpaysdeloire.com
