En un regard
Le château en bref
Château du Luart stands in Le Luart, in the east of the Sarthe department, on the site of a former medieval castle that was demolished. The present château was built in the nineteenth century: the Mérimée database gives 1845 and names the architects Delarue and Eugène Landron, while other sources place the work between 1840 and 1848 under the direction of Pierre-Félix Delarue. It is accompanied by outbuildings, an orangery and a neo-Gothic chapel fitted out between 1866 and 1869 from a former dovecote, the restoration of which is supported by the Fondation du patrimoine. The estate lies within a site listed since 28 October 1943. The façades and roofs of the château, the outbuildings, the orangery and the chapel have been listed as monuments historiques since 24 April 1989. The château remains a private property of the du Luart family.
