Located in Anjou, Durtal Castle is a remarkable architectural synthesis of monumental constructions in the Loire Valley. This former royal estate was built on a rocky peak overlooking the Loir valley. Its current location was strategically chosen in the 11th century by Foulques Nerra and Geoffroy de Martel, Lords of Anjou, with the aim of protecting the city of Angers. This imposing stately residence from the Middle Ages will expand over the centuries and become this sumptuous castle where the kings of France loved to stay. The property is, in fact, close to the Chambiers forest, an ideal place for hunting. Durtal Castle has hosted illustrious occupants such as Henri II, Charles IX, Catherine de Medici and Louis XIII. History also tells that in these places the massacre of Saint-Barthélémy was instigated. This historic Angevin building today constitutes the result of a beautiful architectural harmony between the medieval and Renaissance styles. The guided tour allows the public to discover the splendor of Durtal Castle, as well as its historical, architectural and artistic wealth. A dedicated route leads to the exploration of its painting gallery, its walkway, its “nightjar” room, its 15th century framework, and even one of the largest fireplaces in France. To go further in the experience of “castle life”, the owners of Durtal Castle offer stays in comfortable guest rooms and gîtes. Guided tours: Tour departure: 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. From Easter to All Saints' Day: weekends and public holidays From June 1st to the 3rd weekend of September: every Monday and Tuesday By appointment for groups, all year round.
