Château de Baugé, Medieval castle in Baugé-en-Anjou, France

The castle features a right-angled design with two cylindrical towers on the western side and a grand staircase in its central section.

Construction began in 1454 under René of Anjou, following the destruction of an earlier fortress during conflicts with English forces.

The castle transformed from a military stronghold into a residence where René of Anjou organized hunting parties and social gatherings.

Visitors can explore the castle museum, which displays historical artifacts and architectural elements from different construction periods.

The castle structure incorporates both medieval defensive elements and early Renaissance residential features, marking a transition in architectural styles.
