Château d’Angers is a castle in the city of Angers in the Loire Valley of France. In the 9th century, the Counts of Anjou founded the property which was expanded during the 13th century. The property overlooks the Maine river. It has been a historical monument since 1875.
The most famous feature of the castle is the Apocalypse Tapestry. This large medieval-era set of tapestries was produced between 1377 and 1382 at the request of Louis I, the Duke of Anjou. The tapestry series tells the story of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation. There are 90 total scenes and it is the oldest French medieval tapestry in existence.
