En un regard

Le château en bref

The manor house (château) of the Ouvrinière, in the commune of Mauges-sur-Loire (Maine-et-Loire), is a former fief comprising a noble residence surrounded by defensive works and moats. The main structure probably dates from the 16th century, extensively remodelled at the beginning of the 17th century, as indicated by a sundial dated 1611; the agricultural outbuildings were altered in the 19th century. The main residence comprises a principal storey and attic rooms in schist, sandstone and tuffeau beneath slate, with a broken hipped Mansard roof, a doorway with Ionic pilasters and herringbone quoins.
