Comment

The fortress is built on a promontory of slate schist overlooking the Maine River. The site has been occupied since antiquity, due to its strategic defensive position. Subsequently, the counts of Anjou settled here, until the end of the Plantagenet Empire, when the kingdom of France conquered the county of Anjou. Saint Louis had the present château built in the 13th century, while the Dukes of Anjou transformed it into a seigniorial residence in the 15th century. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_d%27Angers
