The Tour du moulin, the tallest tower of the Angers Castle, is scheduled to reopen to the public on September 25, 2026. The 40-meter-high tower, which overlooks the Maine river, had been closed for over twenty years and has undergone five years of restoration work.

To mark the reopening, the Centre des monuments nationaux organized a free public event featuring musical performances, aerial shows, an electronic DJ set, and an architectural light show. Following the reopening, visitors can climb 83 steps to view the city and the river.
