DONJON DE NIORT, FRANCE | A BEAUTIFUL CASTLE TOUR

What a great visit, the place is amazing and the audio commentary allows you to immerse yourself in 1000 years of history.

The Donjon de Niort or Château de Niort is a medieval castle in the French town of Niort in the département of Deux-Sèvres. It consists of two square towers, linked by a 15th-century building and dominates the Sèvre Niortaise valley. The two donjons are the only remaining part of the castle. In the 18th century, the castle served as a prison. Classified as a monument historique in 1840, the castle housed the families of municipal employees or was used to store départemental archives. In 1870, the Département gave the keep and its land to the town, but continued to occupy it until the start of the 20th century.

Following the first national congress of ethnology in France, held at Niort in 1896, the keep began to take on its present function as a museum, initially housing the collection of Poitevin costumes.
