En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Blossac, in Goven, was built in 1671 by Louis de La Bourdonnaye to replace a 15th-century manor house, of which one turret survives. The central block has four bays flanked by two projecting pavilions. Two 18th-century wings frame a cour d'honneur, with two hollow towers, a modillion cornice and a circular armorial pediment. A chapel was blessed in 1769. The château remained in the La Bourdonnaye family throughout the 19th century. During the Second World War it was occupied successively by German, American and then French troops. Its façades and roofs have been listed as monuments historiques since 1991. It now belongs to the La Rousserie family, descendants of the La Bourdonnaye family, and remains a private residence.
