This fortress of the Marches de Bretagne is located on a rocky promontory overlooking the valley of the Chère.
This fortress of Marches de Bretagne, located on a rocky promontory overlooking the valley of the Chère, tells ten centuries of history. The castle has been the object of 7 constructions since the 11th century and oscillates between medieval style in the west of the enclosure and Renaissance style. Of the first one, the keep, the enclosure, the imposing entrance, all recall the defensive system of the fortress and the military role of the city, stronghold of the Marches de Bretagne. The second, built on the foundations of the medieval curtain wall, recalls the elegance of the Loire castles.
