About Chateau de Vitre
Add to favoritesWith its triangular silhouette and pepperpot roofs, the Château de Vitré is one of the most spectacular in the region. A former fortified castle rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries, it looks as if it has stepped straight out of a medieval illustration. Today, it houses the town hall and a very rich museum on the history of the city. The drawbridge, the imposing towers, and the gatehouse are magnificently preserved. The inner courtyard allows visitors to appreciate the refined Renaissance decorations added later, contrasting with the defensive exterior.
Tip for an even more exceptional visit.
A visit to the Saint-Laurent tower offers an exceptional panoramic view of the half-timbered houses in Vitré's old town. The town itself is worth a longer stroll for its medieval atmosphere.
