En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château du Plessis-Chivré, in Étriché (Maine-et-Loire), brings together buildings from several periods: a 13th-century dovecote presented as the largest in Anjou, 14th- and 17th-century façades, and a chapel. The residence consists of two wings set at right angles, each flanked by a large corner tower, with a double stair tower on the façade and a garden surrounded by moats. A privately owned property set in a wooded park of around 25 hectares, it opens to the public notably during the European Heritage Days.
