En un regard
Le château en bref
Château des Aulnays is located in the commune of Le Torcé-en-Vallée, in the Sarthe département.
Its origins date from the 11th century. Built by Albéric I de Montmorency, constable under Henri I, the castle was a building intended for warfare.
The presence of a moat with an island could attest to the first medieval settlement.
Severely damaged by the English, it was rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries, then abandoned. In 2015 it was acquired by a private owner to renovate it with a view to turning it into a holiday let and a venue for seminars and musical concerts.
