Wonderful! A beautiful castle in the middle of the countryside. The exterior is stunning with the drawbridge and the four towers. You can walk around the water to see the castle from many viewpoints. Entering there are many rooms to visit to end with a library and a small chapel. Only issue: the leaflet we were given (in English) at the entrance was totally outdated. France has to improve the way foreign tourists who don't know French are treated in monuments, places, etc.

Nice castle and we had the pleasure to go to the castle, when they were doing a reenactment. It was very cool to see them shoot with muskets, cannons and run through the gate with horses. The rooms were very well preserved and beautiful. Besides the castle, you'll also be able to walk through the garden. So overall, very kind staff and quite a nice castle when you're in the area. You do have to walk a bit from the parking lot to the castle. Not sure if that's common.

El Castillo de Plessis-Bourré, ubicado cerca de Angers, es una auténtica joya que te transporta directamente a la Edad Media. Construido en el siglo XV, este castillo es el sueño de cualquier amante de la historia y la arquitectura. Desde fuera, el castillo parece sacado de un cuento de hadas con su gran foso lleno de agua y sus imponentes torres que se reflejan en el agua. Este foso no es solo decorativo; en su tiempo, fue una de las defensas clave contra invasores. Al cruzar el puente levadizo, te encuentras con un patio que te invita a explorar más. Una de las cosas más impresionantes del Plessis-Bourré es que ha permanecido casi intacto desde su construcción. A diferencia de otros castillos que han sido remodelados con el tiempo, este conserva su estructura y estilo original. Dentro, puedes recorrer las grandes salas decoradas con muebles antiguos, tapices y retratos que te dan una idea de cómo era la vida en la época. La biblioteca es un lugar especial, con estanterías llenas de libros antiguos que huelen a historia. No te pierdas la sala de los guardias con su techo pintado, una obra maestra de arte medieval. Y si eres fanático de los jardines, los alrededores del castillo son perfectos para un paseo tranquilo. El Castillo de Plessis-Bourré es una visita obligada si estás en la región. Su autenticidad y belleza te harán sentir como si hubieras viajado en el tiempo.

Château du Plessis-Bourré è un affascinante castello del XV secolo situato nella Valle della Loira, vicino Angers, Francia. Costruita tra il 1468 e il 1473 da Jean Bourré, uno stretto consigliere di re Luigi XI, questa fortezza notevole fonde perfettamente l'architettura militare medievale con l'eleganza di una residenza rinascimentale. Circondato da un grande fossato pieno d'acqua, il design del castello è sia difensivo che decorativo, con ponti levatoi, torri angolari e alte mura che evocano la grandezza dell'epoca. All'interno, il castello vanta interni raffinati, tra cui stanze decorate con boiserie decorate, arazzi e soffitti dipinti. Una delle caratteristiche più notevoli è la Sala delle Guardie, decorata con simboli alchemici che riflettono gli interessi del suo proprietario originario. La combinazione unica di elementi gotici e primi rinascimentali del castello lo rende un tesoro architettonico. Il castello du Plessis-Bourré è rimasto notevolmente ben conservato, offrendo ai visitatori uno sguardo sulla vita della nobiltà francese durante il tardo Medioevo. La sua cornice pittoresca, il significato storico e l'aspetto incantevole lo hanno reso una location popolare per le riprese e una meta amata sia per gli appassionati di storia che per i turisti.

The Chateau is surrounded by an impressive moat and beautiful grounds. The current owners still live in private apartments in the Chateau and are decendants of the Count and Countess who lived there during its grand days. Several historic movies were filmed at the Chateau. Highly recommend a visit to this beautifully preserved Chateau.

A nice castle to visit in its original state. The castle has an original painted ceiling from the 15th century which had been covered to hide a controversial scene. The rooms depict different styles through the centuries. Some upkeep is needed in the castle when considering the entrance price of 10 Euros.
