En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de la Janais, in Le Rheu (Ille-et-Vilaine), near Rennes and the RN 24, was built in 1893 on the site of a former manor house for Émile Jean Martin, a Rennes brush manufacturer. It consists of two rectangular volumes joined together, with a basement, a raised ground floor, a square first floor and an attic, a semi-projecting circular turret and a corner tower flanking the central section. The façades alternate brick bands and rendered surfaces, with metal lintels decorated with moulded flowers. Sold at auction in 1905, it changed hands several times before being acquired by Citroën, which converted it into flats.
