A Chateau From The 17th And 18th Centuries, Listed As A Regional Historical Monument, On

A chateau from the 17th and 18th centuries, listed as a regional Historical Monument, on 25-hectare grounds, near the town of Craon. To the east, a lane provides access, from a B road, to the chateau’s courtyard, surrounded by many outbuildings as well as a small pond. Built around 1710 by one of the oldest families of Mayenne, the rectangular dwelling is built out of lime plaster-coated rubble stone and features four storeys, one of which is the basement level, while its top level is used as an attic.

As for the main façade, facing south, it features a classic exterior with tuffeau stone quoins, stringcourses and cornice, whereas the central forepart, slightly recessed, is topped with an impressive semi-circular pediment. To the north, a 17th-century building abuts the dwelling, while the chateau overlooks an enclosed square-shaped garden to the south, the view of which is extended by a tree-lined lane that provides access to a small gate and bridge. In addition, to the west there is a vegetable garden as well as a bridal path, also listed as a regional Historical Monument, which is lined with multi-century oaks, whereas the outskirts of the dwelling and its outbuildings are entirely surrounded by trees and farmland, scattered here and there with hedgerows.
