Château de Langeais, located in the town of Langeais in the Loire Valley of France, is a stunning example of medieval and early Renaissance architecture. The castle was originally built in the 10th century by Fulk Nerra, Count of Anjou, but was later transformed in the 15th century under the orders of King Louis XI. The château features a robust exterior with fortified walls and a drawbridge, contrasting with its elegant and richly decorated interior. Visitors can explore its well-preserved rooms, which are furnished with period pieces and tapestries, and learn about its historical significance, including the marriage of Charles VIII and Anne of Brittany in 1491, an event that played a crucial role in the unification of France.
