Château de Mursay, Renaissance castle in Échiré, France
The Château de Mursay stands on the left bank of the Sèvre Niortaise River, situated on an elevated terrace supported by pilings to prevent flooding.
Between 1596 and 1613, poet Agrippa d'Aubigné transformed the military outpost of Coudray-Salbart fortress into a residential country house with new architectural features.
The castle grounds include the Allée du Roy, an avenue bordered by three-century-old lime trees, named after King Henri IV's visit in 1576.
The Friends of Château de Mursay association conducts guided tours lasting 90 minutes for groups of four or more people from February through October.
The castle grounds maintain ecological balance through sheep grazing, while information panels along the self-guided path detail the structure's historical significance.
