Château de Chaudebœuf

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Chaudeboeuf, in Saint-Sauveur-des-Landes (Ille-et-Vilaine), is recorded as early as 1199–1203 under the name ‘Eschaudebof’. Of the château as it stood in the early 16th century, the pavilion of the north wing and a chapel doorway survive; the building was largely rebuilt in the mid-18th century. Built on a U-shaped plan around a courtyard, in granite and slate, it has a single-aisled chapel that was enlarged in 1933. Bequeathed to the Rillé congregation, it has housed nuns since 1863 and operates as a hospice.
