Château de Montsûrs, Medieval castle in Montsûrs, France.
The castle remains include two main towers built on natural escarpments, surrounded by deep moats filled by the waters of Jouanne and Vesnard rivers.
The fortress served as the residence of Bertrand du Guesclin following his marriage to Jeanne de Laval in 1374, until its capture and burning by English forces in 1429.
The Renaise Tower, registered as a Historical Monument since 1925, stands as a testament to the medieval architecture of the Pays de la Loire region.
Visitors can examine the foundation walls and two remaining towers that showcase the medieval defensive architecture of the Laval county.
The defensive perimeter of the castle extended over 1200 meters, featuring multiple towers with bastions and an advanced drawbridge system.
