# Château de Champtoceaux

Orée d'Anjou, Maine-et-Loire, Pays de la Loire

Château de Champtoceaux stands in Orée d'Anjou (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

At Champtoceaux, in Orée d'Anjou, visitors find not a standing castle but a medieval ruin turned public walk, overlooking the Loire. Occupied since the Neolithic era, the fortified site was levelled in 1420 on the order of John V of Brittany after his own captivity there, and it was never rebuilt. Paths lead through what remains of the lodge, the priory and the old moats, across the former walled town and its motte, in a setting that once drew the painter Turner in the nineteenth century.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
