Door from the past - HFF
The fortified castle of Mayenne (from the 10th century) was built in medieval military style on a rocky promontory and dominates the old town. At the end of the 20th century, renovation work was undertaken. They allowed to discover brick arcades from the Carolingian period. This discovery is major, because the Carolingian military buildings still visible are extremely rare in Europe.

LA PORTE DU PASSÉ. Le château fort de Mayenne (à partir du Xe s.) est de style militaire médiéval, érigé sur un promontoire rocheux et domine la vieille ville. A la fin du XXè siècle des travaux de rénovation sont entrepris. Ils permettent de découvrir des arcades en brique de l'époque carolingienne. Cette découverte est majeure, car les édifices militaires carolingiens encore visibles sont extrêmement rares en Europe.

TOR AUS DER VERGANGENHEIT. Die befestigte Burg von Mayenne (ab 10. Jh.) wurde im mittelalterlichen Militärstil auf einem Felsvorsprung errichtet und dominiert die Altstadt. Ende des 20. Jh. werden Renovierungsarbeiten durchgeführt. Dabei entdeckt man Backsteinarkaden aus der Karolingerzeit. Diese Entdeckung ist bedeutend, denn die noch sichtbaren karolingischen Militärbauten sind in Europa äusserst selten.

Christa1004 club has replied to Ecobird club
Thanks Carol. the last image shows the castle from the other side of the river. By the way, it's funny when you hear the names : the Mayenne castle in Mayenne (town), with the river Mayenne, in the department Mayenne. It would have been great if the name of the boat had also been Mayenne ;-)))
