1 Place d'Armes, 85330 Noirmoutier-en-l'Île, LES SABLES-D'OLONNE, France
The first traces of the castle appeared in 830 with the construction of a castrum by the abbot Hilbold, from the monastery of Saint-Philbert.
It served to defend the monks and the island's population from the Vikings.
The castle was rebuilt in stone in the 12th century by the feudal power who was trying to stabilise the region, notably by preventing Norman pillaging. The island at that time was under the control of the barons of La Garnache.
