Angers Castle is located on the Maine River, near the confluence of the Maine and Loire. Angers is today the capital of the Maine-et-Loire department in the Pays de la Loire region; it was the ancient capital of Anjou.

Beautiful castle, beautiful view passing by the greenway

The Hôtel de Pincé, an important Angevin Renaissance building converted into a museum at the end of the 19th century, is a place where one can discover the ancient Mediterranean, pre-Columbian and Asian civilizations. In addition, a thematic exhibition, renewed every year, recalls the diversity and richness of all the collections of the Angers museums and art library.

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.

The Château d'Angers, also called the Château des Ducs d'Anjou, dominates the Maine on its rocky promontory. Built in the 13th century under the orders of Louis IX, it was transformed into a stately residence by the Dukes of Anjou in the 15th century. The castle, its 17 defensive towers and its moat transformed into gardens can be visited all year round.

From here you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Château de l'Isle Briand, an 18th century castle surrounded by a magnificent park.

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.
