# Château de Pouzauges

Pouzauges, Vendée, Pays de la Loire

Château de Pouzauges stands in Pouzauges (Vendée), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century). Adult admission costs 3 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Pouzauges, on a hill overlooking the Vendée countryside, stand the remains of a fortified castle built between the 11th and 13th centuries by the viscounts of Thouars. The ruined keep, standing 25 metres tall, survives within an enclosure that once had twelve towers linked by curtain walls. The site also recalls a grim episode of the Vendée wars, marked by a cross raised in memory of victims killed within the castle courtyard.
