Angers Chateau

One of the places that is paces from us is the Angers Chateau, built in the 13th century. It served as a fortress and has 17 towers. The Chateau houses the Apocolypse Hanging which was comissioned in 1375. It is one of the best perserved medieval tapestries that survives.
I have not yet seen the Tapestry, but there will be pictures when I do! For now, here are some images of the beautiful, exquisite Chateau.







P.S. I go by this every day while walking to class.
