Castle of Pouancé, Medieval fortress in Ombrée d'Anjou, France

The Castle of Pouancé spans across three hectares, featuring fifteen defensive towers and three concentric walls along the city fortifications.

Built between the 11th and 15th centuries, the castle served as a crucial defensive position between the provinces of Anjou and Brittany during numerous conflicts.

The castle stands as the second largest fortification in Anjou, demonstrating the medieval military architecture of the French-Breton borderlands.

The castle opens its gates to visitors during summer months, allowing exploration of its preserved towers, walls, and archaeological remains.

Local resident Louis Bessière initiated restoration efforts in the 1960s, preventing the complete deterioration of this significant medieval structure.
