            Decaying

CASTLE OF GONNORD IN VALANJOU

There is nothing left of the 5th century primitive castle largely sacked and destroyed  during the Hundred Years’ War. Rebuilt in a square form with high towers, it belonged to several families, among them the Du Bellay’s (the famous poet’s uncle) and the Cossé’s.

Artus de Cossé Brissac refurbished it, Renaissance style, in the 16th century: he admired the Loire Valley Castles as diplomat and treasurer from Queen Regent Catherine de Médicis. He organized luxurious parties in the castle, for example 1580’s carnival, and welcomed kings Charles IX, Henri III and Henri de Navarre, future Henri IV.
