The Château d'Angers, also known as the Château des Ducs d'Anjou, is a medieval fortress located in Angers, in the department of Maine-et-Loire, France. This historically significant site has been occupied since ancient times due to its strategic defensive position. The château is characterized by its imposing ramparts, towers, moat, and a Renaissance-style Royal Lodge. It is renowned for housing the Apocalypse Tapestry, a monumental 14th-century tapestry that is one of the longest of its kind globally. Perched on a rocky promontory overlooking the city of Angers, the château offers panoramic views. Today, it functions as a museum, narrating the history of the fortress and the city, making it a compelling destination for those interested in exploring its rich medieval heritage and valuable art collections.
