Gallery in an Angevin fortress, featuring the medieval tapestry of the Apocalypse, a masterpiece by Jean de Bruges
The château is home to an exceptional treasure: the Apocalypse hanging. Commissioned in the 14th century by Duke Louis I of Anjou, this masterly work retraces in a series of panels the gripping vision of the Apocalypse according to Saint John. With its richly detailed scenes and length of 104 meters, it is a marvellous illustration of the art of medieval tapestry. Each painting tells a story imbued with symbolism and mystery, transporting visitors to the heart of the imaginary world of the Middle Ages. An artistic and historical immersion not to be missed!

Deux bémols cependant : la fraicheur du lieu dont en temps de canicule la "climatisation" a été renforcée ! et la juxtaposition incessante de groupes, bruyants et ne permettant pas une approche détaillée des motifs ...
Impressionnante tapisserie qui déroule ses merveilles sur 100 mètres et dans un cadre raffiné
