Museum

The Museum of Medieval Warfare reconstructs for the first time in 500 years the war engines which attacked castle fortresses.

Artillery Room At the top of the artillery tower, this new room shows powder artillery from the 15th and 16th centuries. The organ with twelve barrels is one of the most peculiar weapons from the end of the 16th century. The original design came from Leonardo di Vinci.

The Large Room in the Main Building This room directs visitors towards the different parts of the castle: the new terrace with a spectacular panorama, the keep and the thematic rooms. There is also a video which presents medieval man's defensive and offensive equipment.

The Lower Room in the Keep Given over to projectile weapons, this room displays a powerful giant crossbow.

The Armour Room This room holds the most spectacular pieces of the collection: the range of archers' defensive equipment, mail shirts weighing more than eight kilograms, a sallet helmet, a shield, 14th and 15th century swords, and a stack of staff weapons: pikes, halberds, etc...

The Upper Room of the Keep The magnificent vaulted room in the keep holds a furniture collection from the 14th to 16th centuries ( a small clothing chest, a trunk, a bench chest and a throne chest ), and since 2001 the reconstruction of a dress belonging to a 14th century chatelaine.

The Model Room This room is given over to siege artillery from antiquity through medieval times: the catapult, siege tower, ram and several counterweight engins created in the Middle Ages. The models are on a scale of 1/20th and 1/10th.

The Armour Maker's Workshop This reconstructed workshop displays the tools used to make armour.
