Château de la Chesnaie

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de la Chesnaie, in Mordelles (Ille-et-Vilaine), dates from the second half of the 19th century, probably the 1860s, and was the residence of M. de Farcy, mayor of Mordelles. It was built on the ruins of a former manor house, still identifiable to the south. Neo-Renaissance in style, with a compact symmetrical plan, it is flanked to the south by two circular towers with conical roofs and to the north by two rectangular pavilions. It is built of schist, limestone, dressed stone and render, under a slate roof with a central lantern. Its sculpted decoration draws on the early Renaissance repertoire, including the coat of arms of the de Farcy family. Private property.
