The castle of the dukes of Britanny

Château des ducs de Bretagne

Musée d'histoire de Nantes

The architectural gem that is the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany is over eight hundred years old. A symbol of the splendour of the last Montfort dynasty, François II and Anne of Brittany, over the centuries the castle has undergone a number of transformations. It has suffered fortunes and misfortunes, welcomed a wide variety of guests, and has been used for some rather surprising functions. The castle has played host to kings, witnessed revolutions, undergone enemy occupation, falling into a state of disrepair before being restored to its former splendour. The Castle of the Dukes of Brittany is a proud witness to eight centuries of history.
