A UNIQUE PLACE: 800 years of History, a heritage to reinvent Nestled in the bocage landscapes of northern Mayenne, this castle is a treasure of Medieval and Renaissance architecture, a vibrant witness to eight centuries of French History. From its founding in the 13th century to its transformation in the 21st, this seigneurial residence has seen knights, marquises, and local legends pass through.
With its moats, ramparts, and majestic remains, it offers a unique setting for a life project, hospitality, or [hidden information]. Once a fortress, the castle was successively a military stronghold, noble residence, then a place of silence and mystery, before regaining its soul today through passionate restoration.
More than a property, it is a living page of history in your hands, ready to welcome a new [hidden information]. A legend says that a carved dog’s head marks the location of a barrel of gold never found.
Only the remarkable remains of the medieval castle burned during the Revolution and two large 16th-century main buildings persist. Facing each other, perfectly symmetrical without being identical, sober and elegant, backed by the old ramparts and surrounded by moats, they frame a French garden at their center.
Almost fully restored, these two buildings are today:
- The first, a residence of about 250 m² with on the ground floor two living rooms with fireplaces, a large bedroom with fireplace, a bathroom, and private toilets. Opposite, an original fitted kitchen, toilets, and a boiler room. Upstairs, accessible by a stone staircase, three bedrooms each with a shower room and toilets, and a fourth very large bedroom with a bathroom and toilets. Finally, a small wooden staircase leads to a double attic above the kitchen and boiler room.
- The other building, about 230 m², is a huge reception hall with its outbuildings: space for a professional kitchen (now removed) and amenities for guests. An attic is accessible by a ladder.
Meadows, orchards, gardens, and paths cover a total area of about 2.56 [hidden information]. A magical place for ambitious projects, for heritage, history, and nature lovers, a source of inspiration for artists, an exceptional setting for event organization, or a magnificent backdrop for filming [hidden information].
- 40 minutes from Laval SNCF station (Paris 1h15 by TGV); - About 3 hours by car from the Normandy beaches (Caen, Bayeux), Mont Saint-Michel, Brittany (Saint-Malo, Morbihan), and the Loire Castles (Tours, Blois).
Work to be expected.
