| Description |
Le château d'Angers. La porte des Champs. Cette forteresse de schiste et de calcaire fut édifiée par Blanche de Castille et Saint-Louis (Louis IX). La régente Blanche de Castille et le Roi louis IX, pour combattre Henri III, successeur de Jean Sans Terre et Pierre duc de Bretagne, firent construire entre 1230 et 1240, cette énorme forteresse. La porte des Champs permettait la liaison entre le château et l'extérieur de la ville. Deux tours encadrent une porte charretière à laquelle on accédait par une passerelle et par un pont-levis qui devait être actionné par une unique chaîne à partir d'une ouverture au-dessus de la porte. La défense de cette porte se faisait en premier lieu par une série d'archères. Certaines de ces archères seront reprises et transformées en canonnières. Au XVIIe ou XVIIIe siècle, deux de ces canonnières furent habillées de petits balcons semi-circulaires à encorbellements. L'entrée était défendue par un système de double herse, le tout renforcé d'un assommoir entre les deux. La herse en place d'aujourd'hui est une herse d'origine en bois et aux sabots renforcés de fer, datant probablement du XVe siècle-XVIe siècle.
This fortress shale and limestone was built by Blanche of Castile and Saint Louis (Louis IX). The regent Blanche of Castile and King Louis IX to fight Henry III, successor of John Lackland and Peter Duke of Brittany, did build between 1230 and 1240, this huge fortress. La Porte des Champs allowed the connection between the castle and outside the city. Two towers flank a driveway gate, which was reached by a footbridge and a drawbridge that was to be operated by a single string from an opening above the door. The defense of this door was in first place by a series of arrow slits. Some of these arrow slits will be transformed into openings for guns. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, two of these openings for cannons were dressed in small semi-circular corbelled balconies. The entrance was protected by a system of double portcullis, reinforced a assommoir in between everything. The portcullis up today is a portcullis original wood and reinforced iron hooves, probably dating from the fifteenth century and sixteenth century. |
