Langeais

Château de Langeais is one of the best known examples of late medieval architecture. The feudal stronghold of Langeais ~ with its high walls, round towers, crenulated sentry walks and drawbridge, Château de Langeais has survived intact through the centuries. Built between 1465 and 1470, the castle houses untold treasures, antique furniture and fine tapestries. It is especially noted for its monumental and highly decorated chimney pieces.
