Château de Maisontiers, Medieval castle in Maisontiers, France
The Château de Maisontiers features a defensive wall with two circular towers and extends across large moats measuring 110 meters long and 40 meters wide.
The castle, constructed between the 13th and 16th centuries, underwent modifications by Claude de Montjehan in the late 15th century and remained with the Tusseau family from 1544 to 1792.
The west wing of the castle represents architectural evolution in the Deux-Sèvres region, combining medieval defensive elements with later Renaissance period additions.
Visitors can explore the castle and its grounds from August 1st to September 15th, between 10 AM to 12 PM and 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM.
The castle grounds contain a guardian's house near the entrance and three utility buildings that historically served as livestock areas and a bakery.
