Angers Castle
A Karen Brown Recommendation
Angers, Center, France |
Angers was the former capital of the Dukes of Anjou and is now a city full of factories with an old town and its 13th-century fortress at its heart. During the 16th century many of the 17 massive towers were dismantled, on royal command, to the level of the wall-walk. The castle has some spectacular displays of tapestries, including the Apocalypse Tapestry, the longest ever woven in France, displayed in a special gallery. It was originally 164 meters long but during the Revolution it was thrown over the walls into the street and citizens snipped bits off. In 1843 the bishop managed to repiece two-thirds of it and about 100 meters are on display. (Open all year, tel: 02.41.87.43.47.)
