Strengthened as of
XIe century, the castle was built at the origin on a rock headland
emerging from a marsh. The castle of Ferns, one of the principal
keys of the duchy of Brittany, many times was besieged, ruined and
rebuilt between XIe and XVe centuries. Also it offers a complete
panorama of the military architecture, for the Romance time until
constructions of triumphing artillery. With this architectural interest
are added the richness of the historical and warlike memories, and
the spectacular character due to the hugeness of the realization. |
