Fougères - Château de Fougères

The first wooden fort, that existed on an outcrop surrounded the Nançon river, was destroyed in 1166 by the armee of King Henry II of England (aka "Henry Curtmantle", "Henry Plantagenet"), who was as well Duke of Normandy.
It got rebuilt much stronger fortified, but the times were politically difficult. The stronghold was taken by English mercenaries, retaken by French troops about 40 years later. By that time, it had lost iot militarey impoartance on the border between Normandy and Brittanny.

Having impressive 13 towers, the Château de Fougères is one of Europe's largest medieval fortresses.
