Built on the site of a former Carolingian residence of the 10th century, the castle, which dominates the old town, is the emblematic monument of Mayenne. Most of the visible elements date from the 13th century, in particular the dwelling and the circular keep. It houses the city museum, which exhibits objects from daily life in the Middle Ages. Medieval board games, including chess pieces and a backgammon board, are among the best-preserved pieces in the world.
