Château de Clavières, Historic castle in Le Bignon-du-Maine, France.
The Château de Clavières features 19th-century architecture with an integrated chapel and additional buildings constructed between 1891 and 1893.
Louis Guays des Touches, a judge from Laval, purchased the estate in 1833 and built the castle, which later became an establishment of the Brothers of Saint Gabriel.
In 1874, the castle was bequeathed to the Laval seminary with the requirement to celebrate daily mass in the chapel.
The property includes several auxiliary buildings constructed to accommodate residents, subsequently transformed into a juvenate and later a scholasticate from 1896.
The castle served as a sanatorium for tuberculosis soldiers during World War I before accepting civilian patients.
