Château de Vitré
The Château de Vitré is a medieval castle in Vitré, Ille‑et‑Vilaine, France, sited on a rocky promontory above the Vilaine valley. Built in stone from the 11th century and remodelled into a triangular plan in the 13th century, it received major 15th‑ and early 16th‑century works making it a strong fortified residence. Restored in the 19th century, it now houses municipal functions and a small museum.
