Château de l'Oisellerie, 15th-century castle in La Couronne, France
The castle forms an L-shape with two wings surrounding a courtyard, featuring a crenellated gate and defensive architectural elements throughout the structure.
The property belonged to the Abbey of La Couronne until 1500 when Arnauld Calluaud acquired it and built the initial castle with support from his brother.
King Francis I selected this castle for his accommodation during his travels through the region in 1526, marking its status among French nobility.
The castle now functions as an agricultural college and contains the Department's Center for Educational Documentation, serving educational purposes since 1902.
The castle grounds include a structured garden divided by a crosswalk, containing water features and an ancient pigeon loft tower from its agricultural past.
