Château de la Morinais

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de la Morinais, in Iffendic (Ille-et-Vilaine), is first mentioned in 1420, when it belonged to Eustache de la Morinaye, and later passed to the de la Monneraye family from the 17th century onwards. Rebuilt in 1749 with the addition of a chapel, it was sacked and partly burnt in 1790 by a band of armed peasants, then restored at the beginning of the 19th century; it has belonged to the Fleuriot de Langle family since 1849, the year of the marriage of Anna de la Monneraye to Admiral Camille Fleuriot de Langle. The garden façade has eight irregular bays revealing successive building campaigns, arranged around a central body with a later square tower; schist, puddingstone and rubble masonry rendered beneath slate. Privately owned property in poor condition.
