The castle of the Dukes of Brittany has seen its role change over the centuries: sometimes a pleasure castle, sometimes a defensive castle, its construction spanned from the 13th to the 18th century.

Nowadays, the castle can be visited alone or on a guided tour and the site also houses the Nantes History Museum with more than 30 exhibition rooms to visit and temporary exhibitions.
