En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de la Pigossière, on Rue du Vignoble in Pont-Saint-Martin (Loire-Atlantique), traces its origins back to a medieval castle built in 1391 by Thébaud du Chaffault, of which the foundations of a tower survive at the entrance. Destroyed in 1793 during the Vendée wars, it was rebuilt after 1810 by Louis-Joseph de Mellient, who introduced a roof frame shaped like a ship's hull. Henri de Ternay transformed it into its present appearance in 1910. Opened to the public in 1987 by the de Lambilly family, who developed a reception concept there, it is now an event venue (weddings, seminars, catering).
