Guided tour of the castle

Overview

Castle Lassay is a fortress of the fifteenth century remarkable for its homogeneity and state of preservation. With its eight towers connected by a rampart, its exceptional three-storey defense artillery boulevard and drawbridges, it is a precious witness of the military architecture of the late Middle Ages. His spectacular silouette, reflected by the pond he overlooks, was immortalized by Victor Hugo. As part of the guided tours, you will discover the functioning of a military garrison of the fifteenth century. The guide will open the furnished rooms, bedroom, weapons room, kitchen with its curious granite kitchen garden and a beautiful collection of brass ... At each visit, rare experience, the public is invited to manipulate the drawbridge. The castle is located in the heart of the very pretty Small City of Character of Lassay-les-Châteaux, which also deserves a visit.
