The castle

That defensive monument between the 13th and the 17th century became the central point of Clisson landscape.

The romantic ruins of the Clisson chateau stand high on a rocky spur, overlooking the whole town and bearing witness to the importance of the Middle Ages fortress.
A vast monument, a precursor synthesis of French defensive architecture : Between the former wooden stronghold which Clisson name has been derived from, the typical breton machicolation and the 16th century orillon bastions .
