Château de Bourmont, Medieval castle in Freigné and Vallons-de-l'Erdre, France.

The Château de Bourmont features Neo-Gothic architecture with towers, battlements, and extensive grounds surrounded by Loire Valley landscapes.

Built in the 14th century, the castle underwent additions from the 16th to 19th centuries, including two commons and an orangery in 1702.

The castle was the birthplace of Louis-Auguste-Victor, Count de Ghaisnes de Bourmont, who led the French conquest of Algeria in 1830.

The château remains a private residence and access to the interior is restricted, though its exterior architecture can be viewed from nearby paths.

During the Chouannerie in 1795, the castle served as the headquarters for the vicomte de Scépaux's military operations.
