Château de la Turmelière, Historical castle in Orée-d'Anjou, France.

The castle stands within a 45-hectare park on the slopes of the Loire River, featuring two reception halls and accommodations for 74 guests.

The original castle from the 13th century was restored in the 15th century by Perceval Chabot de Chantemerle and rebuilt in its current form in 1887.

French poet Joachim du Bellay was born and raised at La Turmelière, where the surrounding landscapes influenced his literary works.

The castle offers 43 rooms across multiple buildings, with rates starting at 72 euros per night including breakfast and bed linens.

Medieval ruins beneath the current 19th-century castle, including moats and a dovecote, received historical monument status in October 1941.
