Château de la Baronnière, National heritage castle in Mauges-sur-Loire, France
Description
The castle is a manor house built between 1852 and 1856 in neogothic style, featuring a decorated facade adorned with coats of arms. A grand interior staircase and chapel form the main focal points inside the building.
History
An original Renaissance castle was destroyed in 1793 by Republican troops, leaving only a square tower standing. Afterward, Jean-Joseph Arnous-Rivière purchased the estate in 1801 and rebuilt it during the 1850s.
Culture
The chapel holds stained glass windows created by master craftsman Thévenet in 1846, which remain integral to how the family experiences the space today. These works of art shape the light and character of the interior year after year.
Practical
The estate welcomes visitors during specific weekends, with the kitchen garden being a particular draw for those interested in historic gardening. It is wise to check opening times in advance, as these are not regular throughout the year.
Did you know?
The estate contains a large park planted with diverse tree species including plane trees, oaks, and giant sequoias. This varied landscape was intentionally designed and contributes to the distinctive character of the grounds.
