Guided tour of the castle
Description
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.

Very beautiful castle that deserves a lovely guided tour. Very well renovated and very well maintained with rooms furnished in different historical styles. Beautiful exterior, lovely medieval garden. Young guide who is very interesting and knows his subject very well, even though it was only his second tour. Bravo! Nice little shop with some local products.
This is a rare chateau that has been untouched by time, so that's really interesting. And even more interesting is that a family lives in it!
Very nice visit to the castle with a very good guide lassay castles pretty little village and I highly recommend the bakery pastry on the place of May 8
This late 14th century castle, still inhabited, is extremely well preserved. The guided tour inside and outside is interesting (about one hour). Take the time to go around the main square and visit this small town and its rose garden. You will have a pleasant time.
One hour guided tour, pleasant guide, smiling, listening.... And knows his subject well! Beautiful building , very interesting visit to the outside, and some furnished rooms...
It's obviously not Carrouges Castle. But it is worth visiting both; for we better measure the differences between a feudal castle and another rather renaissance. Guided tours are organized and it is better that way because then we discover nooks and crannies that we would forget. Interesting route between the holes, outdoor spaces and furnished rooms.
A day spent in Lassay-les-chateaux where we visited the medieval gardens, parks, washhouses. We ended with the castle. A guided tour of one hour that we enjoyed. The guide was really good and the castle well maintained with beautiful furniture inside. Please note that payment cannot be made by credit card.
Very happy with our visit to the city, castle, gardens. Beautiful architecture. Very nice. Welcoming merchants
Merci pour ce commentaire si positif. Lassay est en effet une ville bien agréable !
We enjoyed this guided tour of the castle and the explanations given by our Guide. To do and to do again. Thank you for sharing...
Very good visit in two parts. The premiere of the castle with Alexandre. The second of the tower with very difficult stairs with Diwan. Both guides are very available and answer questions perfectly. Well done to them ☺️👏 The price is 6 euros during heritage days. Both visits are worth it. Leave your stilettos at home 🏰😜
