The largest fortress in Europe, the castle of Fougères stands on a rocky outcrop surrounded by marshland. The first castle of Fougères was built around the turn of the millennium to defend the north-eastern part of the border area of the Duchy of Brittany. Built at the crossroads of important trade routes, this primitive fortress had the main objective of monitoring the powerful neighbors and preventing their raids on Breton lands. To the north, Normandy belonged to the kings of England at the time.
