Château de Bonnefontaine

Château de Bonnefontaine, Renaissance castle in Val-Couesnon, France.

Château de Bonnefontaine is a Renaissance castle in Val-Couesnon with two connected buildings, two round towers, and a polygonal tower containing a spiral staircase. The complex sits within a large park that includes ponds and woodland areas.

In 1547, Pierre de Giffard de La Marzelière received permission from King Henry II to transform Bonnefontaine into a fortified residence. This authorization marked the start of the site's Renaissance development.

The residence displays Renaissance details in its stonework and entrance designs. These decorative elements shape how the building looks today and reveal the craftsmanship of that period.

The estate sits within a structured park that is easy to walk through and offers different areas to explore. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear and allow time to view the buildings and surroundings at a comfortable pace.

The extensive park contains collections of rhododendrons and cypress trees planted around two ponds and between two waterways. These botanical plantings create a distinct character separate from the main castle buildings.
