Château de l'Epinay

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de l'Épinay, in Saint-Georges-sur-Loire (Maine-et-Loire), dates back to the 13th century. Initially dependent on the Plessis-Macé estate, then on Serrant in the 17th century, it was enlarged from the 1640s onwards. It retains a 13th-century dovecote (400 niches), probably a remnant of the original fortified enclosure, a 15th-century square tower that was the original seigneurial residence, and a southern extension dating to around 1640, whose façade recalls the abbey of Saint-Georges. The Gastinel family (12th century), the Montalais de Vern family (15th century), the La Jaille, Brie de Serrant and Andigné families owned it, then the Cumont family from 1730. A privately owned property, it now operates as a hotel-restaurant with a wellness area.
