Porte de Loudun is the southern gate of the fortified town of Richelieu, built by Cardinal Richelieu in the 1630s. King Louis XIII gave him the land to build a fortified town and castle on it, and Richelieu was still in the process of to carry out this project at the time of his death in 1642. There are two entrance gates into the town - this one, the Porte de Loudun and the entrance from the north is possible through the Porte de Chinon.
