Témoin du passé

Témoin du passé
The Château du Bois Thibault is a ruined castle. In 1423, during the 100 Years' War, it was soon occupied by a company of Scotsmen, fighting on behalf of France, who fortified themselves there, but were overrun by the English.

During the French Wars of Religion, the Huguenots damaged the chapel and destroyed the mausoleum. During this time, it gradually fell into a state of disrepair.

In 1988, the town of Lassay-les-Châteaux bought the site with the ruins to undertake some repairs. Today guided tours, as well as occasional entertainment, including medieval dinners and scavenger hunts are offered..

Danke Wilhelm. In unserem Département gibt es eine grosse Anzahl von Burgen und Schlösser. Mir gefallen am besten diese alten Burgruinen, da wird die Fantasie so richtig "angeheizt" ;-) Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Sonntag.

Merci Nora, sur la première PiP on voit les château en entier, on constate qu'il n'est pas très grand, mais tu as raison, il est impressionnant.
