Château de Forgeais

En un regard

Le château en bref

Forgeais Castle is an isolated residence in the commune of Chenu (Sarthe), set along a stream that marks the boundary between Anjou and Touraine. The site combines the remains of a medieval tower, flanked by a 16th-century bastion, with a manor house remodelled in the early 17th century, whose neoclassical façade is thought to have been completed or remodelled around 1897. Limestone, brick, render and slate make up the masonry and roofing. The estate includes a square dovecote with brick quoins, a water mill, 19th-century farm buildings and a Sainte-Barbe chapel. Private property.
