Castle of Brézé

Château de Brézé is a small, dry-moated castle located in Brézé, near Saumur in the Loire Valley, France.

The château was transformed during the 16th and the 19th centuries. The current structure is Renaissance in style, yet retains medieval elements including a drawbridge and a 12th-century troglodytic basement.

Probably constructed as a refuge and shelter from Viking raids, the castle's cellars contain 3 km (2 mi) of galleries (1 km (0.6 mi) of which is currently accessible) that include living spaces, a bakery, storage areas and livestock areas.
