Château de Langeais, Medieval fortress in Langeais, France.
The castle stands on a high point above the Loire River, featuring a drawbridge, defensive towers, and thick stone walls built for military protection.
King Louis XI ordered the reconstruction of the castle in 1465 after significant damage during the Hundred Years War, transforming it into a medieval stronghold.
The great hall exhibits numerous tapestries and period furniture pieces that demonstrate the living conditions of French nobility during the Middle Ages.
The castle opens every day of the year, with guided tours available in multiple languages and special admission rates for children under 18 years old.
The site contains both a 15th-century castle and the remains of a 10th-century stone keep, which represents the earliest dated fortification in France.
Founders: Fulk III, Count of Anjou
