Château de Poligné, Manor house in Forcé, France.

The limestone castle features high windows, French-style roofing, and stands 300 meters northeast of the village center of Forcé.

The castle dates from the 18th century and underwent modifications during the 19th century under architect Delavue's supervision.

The castle served as a refuge for the Protestant Church of Laval during the 17th century, marking its role in religious diversity.

The underground funeral chapel, added in the late 19th century and decorated with white marble, remains a protected historical monument since 1992.

In 1636, local customs required priests to present themselves at the castle with a silver cup filled with wine before their installation.
