Château du Plessis

En un regard

Le château en bref

Set in a wooded landscape overlooking the Chère valley, in Saint-Aubin-des-Châteaux in the north of Loire-Atlantique, the Château du Plessis occupies a site inhabited since the Middle Ages, when a first manor house dating from the 14th and 15th centuries stood here. This was replaced by a residence built in two phases: the west wing around 1640, then the east wing, remodelled around 1738. A small 17th-century pavilion survives nearby. In the 19th century, the estate became a genuine agricultural production unit, equipped with a bread oven, a cider press and farm buildings. The façades and roofs of the château, the outbuildings and the small pavilion have been listed as monuments historiques since 9 December 1992. The château is privately owned.
