En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château du Plessis-Châtillon, in Châtillon-sur-Colmont (Mayenne), some 2.5 km north-east of the village centre, dates from 1561 (and 1569 for a second phase). It takes its name from the lords who lived there from 1670 onwards, and it was elevated to a marquisate. Modest despite the wealth of its owners, it has two square pavilions at its ends, a tower with an octagonal base crowned by a bell-shaped roof, and two low pavilions, one of which serves as a chapel. Marie-Félicité du Plessis-Châtillon, Countess of Châteaumeillant, was guillotined in 1794.
