Description

Laval (Mayenne). Le château de Laval , imposant édifice dont l’origine remonte au onzième siècle abrite aujourd'hui la plus belle collection d'Art naïf d'Europe. Un bel hommage posthume à l'un des enfants de Laval, le Douanier Rousseau.

le Vieux Château domine la Mayenne par son architecture féodale et son donjon massif. Le donjon date du XIIème siècle il mesure 45 m de haut et 14 m de diamètre. Le château n’est en fait qu’une partie de toute une infrastructure de remparts, destinés à protéger la ville. Au pied du château s’étendaient les douves (aujourd’hui rue piétonne du Val de Mayenne).

Le Vieux Pont qui enjambe la Mayenne date du Moyen Age.

Le château neuf date du XIXème siècle.
