Initially it was part of a medieval castle, built at the end of the 10th century (992-994) by an early Count of Anjou, Fulk Nerra. He was renowned as one of the first great builders of an estimated 100 of medieval castles and abbeys, across the Loire Valley in what is now France. He was also an illustrious warrior and strategist.<\/p>\n<p>Under the reign of Plantagenet, the dynasty which descends from Geoffrey II, the Count of Gatinais, and his wife Ermengarde of Anjou enlarged the castle. It was extended by Richard The Lion Heart (Richard I of England) between 1189 and 1199. Reconquered in 1206 by Philip II of France (Philippe Augustus), the castle was destroyed during the Hundred Years\u2019 War.<\/p>\n<p>In 1465 Louis XI commissioned the construction of the second Chateau below the vestiges of the ancient edifice. The new castle was finished in 1469. One of the most remarkable events held (during peacetime) in the chateau was the marriage of Anne Brittany to King Charles VIII on December 6, 1491 that ended the independence of the Duchy of Brittany and sealed the permanent union of Brittany and France. The castle was abandoned during the French revolution.<\/p>\n<p>In 1886, Jacques Siegfried bought Chateau de Langeais and began a restoration program. He installed an outstanding collection of tapestries and furnishings and bequeathed the ch\u00e2teau to the Institute de France which still owns it today.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1922 the Chateau de Langeais has been listed as an historic monument by the French Ministry of Culture and has been opened to the public. The parts of the park and gardens around the ancient ruins and up till the bridge have been similarly classified since 1942.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l7qcd8zx-651427ae09b789486c1aec6e30517c13\">\n#top .hr.av-l7qcd8zx-651427ae09b789486c1aec6e30517c13{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-l7qcd8zx-651427ae09b789486c1aec6e30517c13 .hr-inner{\nwidth:400px;\nborder-color:#647231;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-l7qcd8zx-651427ae09b789486c1aec6e30517c13 .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#647231;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-l7qcd8zx-651427ae09b789486c1aec6e30517c13 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_one_full  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue828' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-4pqu9-98a9024741a78bbd350e98c7a184ce41 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-l7qcf5a9-c08ef1d2e8bc9bd68d105f47bc89a0ef'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>The Gardens and Park of the Chateau de Langeais.<\/h3>\n<p>A captivating path leads visitors through the medieval inspired garden and into the park, with a panoramic view point on the Loire, bicentenary cedars of Atlas and giant sequoias.<\/p>\n<p>A photographic exposition, \u201cWellness begins in the Garden\u201d, is featured prominently in the castle\u2019s park.
