Château de Saint-Mars-la-Jaille, Historical castle in Vallons-de-l'Erdre, France.

The Castle of Saint-Mars-la-Jaille features 18th-century architecture designed by Pierre Charles Gaignard with outbuildings restored in the early 20th century.

The initial fortification from 1334 was destroyed under Henry IV's orders in 1598, then by Richelieu in 1618, leaving only the dovecote standing.

The interior Rococo-style paneling, originating from Hotel de La Villestreux in Nantes, decorates the spaces restored between 1906 and 1908.

The site, registered as a historical monument in 1994, is located in Loire-Atlantique department at coordinates 47.5233 latitude and -1.19125 longitude.

The 1764 castle construction involved forced labor from surrounding villages, leading to protests documented in the Maumusson grievance records.
