En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de la Châtaigneraie stands in Haute-Goulaine, south-east of Nantes, on rue de la Basse-Lande. It is a country residence built in 1875 for Adolphe de Bougrenet de la Tocnaye, a wealthy shipowner from an old local family and mayor of the commune from 1871 to 1874. The estate, which the family already owned at the beginning of the nineteenth century, is dominated by the château. Long closed to the public, the property was included by the commune in an urban development zone devoted to services, leisure and tourist accommodation, in order to enable its restoration and enhancement (amendment to the PLU approved in 2020).
