Prtty view on the Thouars's castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

In 1635, Marie de la Tour d'Auvergne, Duchess of La Trémoïlle, demolished the castle that was on the site and built this more modern castle. His family then moved to Paris and abandoned him. Since then it has been used as barracks and prison. It is now public property and was restored in the 1990s.
