En un regard
Le château en bref
The Logis de la Chenulière, in La Chapelle-Saint-Laurent (Deux-Sèvres), is a former fortified castle retaining traces from the twelfth century, rebuilt in the sixteenth century. Devastated by the Infernal Columns during the Vendée Wars, the logis was set on fire and never rebuilt; its central section, destroyed during the Revolution, was turned into a terrace. It retains a levelled round tower, a watch turret (échauguette), a massive fortified house with a bretèche, and a great hall with a monumental fireplace and an interior well. A restoration campaign on the roofs and walls took place from November 2022 to March 2023, with support from the Fondation du patrimoine.
