About

Your experience at Angers Castle & Gardens

Step into a world where history and beauty converge at Angers Castle, a striking medieval fortress nestled in the heart of Angers. Originally built in the 9th century, and later expanded by Saint Louis, the castle features imposing walls, 17 powerful towers and an atmosphere steeped in centuries of heritage.

Explore the Historic Fortress

Begin your visit by passing through the castle's distinctive drawbridge, once a symbol of protection for the city. Wander into a courtyard surrounded by magnificent ramparts that tell tales of conflicts and royalty. The exterior alone conveys the grandeur of medieval architecture, highlighted by the thick moats that now cradle lush gardens instead of water.

The Apocalypse Tapestry

One of the highlights of Angers Castle is the Apocalypse Tapestry, a 140-meter-long masterpiece and one of the greatest treasures of medieval art. Displayed in a specially designed gallery, the tapestry depicts dramatic scenes from the Book of Revelation and reflects the cultural, social and political climate of 14th-century France. Its detailed panels and impressive length offer a vivid window into the medieval imagination and craftsmanship.

Picturesque Views from the Ramparts

For panoramic vistas, ascend the ramparts that encircle the castle. From this high vantage point, you can gaze out over Angers and the Maine River. The views are especially romantic at sunset, when the city's skyline is bathed in a warm glow.

Architectural Treasures and Chapel
