En un regard
Le château en bref
The Manor of Plessis-Guilleux, also formerly called the Plessis-aux-Châtaignes, is located in the commune of Bonchamp-lès-Laval, to the east of Laval. A noble estate attested since at least the 15th century (mention of "Plessis Guillou" in 1453), it appears as a manor on the Cassini map. The present residence dates from the 17th century: a chronogram placed above the entrance porch bore the date 1698, an element that has since been destroyed. Built of schist rubble with tuffeau dressings, it rises over a square storey and serves its levels by an internal spiral staircase; the slate roofs combine a pitched roof with long slopes, a gabled roof and a hipped pavilion roof. The site was studied by the Inventaire général du patrimoine culturel (file IA53001795); it is a privately owned property, not protected as a historic monument.
