Le château en bref
The Château de la Freslonnière (spelled here Fleslonniète), at Le Rheu (Ille-et-Vilaine), is an estate whose origins date back to 1163 and which has been continuously owned by the Freslon family since then. The present château was rebuilt in the 17th century and altered at the end of the 18th century: it has a symmetrical plan with a central block flanked by side pavilions, two storeys plus attics, a slate roof, a central staircase from the 1730s–1740s, and Neoclassical panelling from around 1820–1830. The estate includes service pavilions, a Chapel of Saint-Laurent rebuilt in 1725 and then restored in 1821, a dovecote, an octagonal henhouse and a brick kennel. Privately owned, restored.
