Château de Langeais

Highlight • Castle

The Château de Langeais is a former royal estate built by Louis XI in the 15th century. It replaced the old fortified castle built at the end of the 10th century by the Count of Anjou Foulques Nerra.

Now open to the public, you can visit fifteen rooms furnished with richly sculpted medieval furniture. There is also a collection of tapestries and the reconstruction of the royal wedding of Anne de Bretagne. The gardens are also open to the public.

The castle has been classified as a historical monument since 1922.

Fliesenböden im Schloss Langeais

Highlight • Other

The castle has many different tiled floors with quite interesting patterns. Some are already worn down by the many years and show how many people have probably walked over them. A work of art on the floors that wants to be noticed.

Langeais Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Langeais bridge is an Eiffel bridge... Like the tower of the same name and the same engineer! It is both very resistant and fragile in winter if it freezes at -10°C. It may be closed during periods of severe frost. This bridge crosses the Loire offering superb views of the river and its surroundings.
