The foundations of the fortress date from the year 984. They were ordered by countess Aremberge. Charles VIII decided to shave the castle before rebuilding it in the fifteenth century. The unique remnants of the ancient medieval enclosure are the two large, massive entrance towers. One can still see part of the fortress, leftovers and a polygonal bastion. In the courtyard there is a Renaissance logis of 1535 recently restored with its high-fronted windows and its square tower. Some pavilions were added in the seventeenth century. In 1977, the castle was classified as a historic monument and became property of the City in 1986. Starting in the 1990 s, work was undertaken: demolition of the nineteenth century chapel and the school building of the 1960 s and restoration of the châtelet.

Un château qui ne mérite pas de faire un gros détour mais qui vaut le coup de changer de rue pour passer à côté. Joli le soir. Dommage qu'il y ait une partie restaurée qui dénote un peu. En profiter si vous êtes en ville car la bâtisse est en plein cœur de cette dernière et non pas isolée en plaine.

Ancenis compte un très beau château visible lorsque l'on arrive par le pont du Maine et Loire. Cependant, malgré qu'une partie ait été rénovée récemment (terminée en septembre 2015), il reste une grosse partie des remparts qui est très défraîchit ... les coulure et fientes d'oiseaux gâchent un peu la splendeur du bâti ...

A beautiful castle, which can get very close. Visits are not regular. They include a Muse. That is worth it to go to see it while strolling on the banks of the Loire.
You will then be very close to the city centre.
