Perched on a hillside overlooking the roofs of the capital of Vendée's hedged farmland, Bressuire Castle, the fief of the Beaumont-Bressuire family from the 11th to the 16th century, played an important role in the struggles that took place in Poitou between the Kings of France and England. Bressuire Fortress has kept a number of relics of its medieval past, for instance the two walls from the 11th and 13th centuries, dotted with towers. A small Neo-Gothic castle, built in the 19th century on the site of the seigniorial lodge, now hosts temporary exhibitions.

Also discover the Church of Our Lady, from the 11th-16th centuries, with its imposing 56-metre bell tower!
