Château de Malicorne-sur-Sarthe

The castle exhibits an elegant neoclassical design with Mansard roofs and symmetrical facades, overlooking the surrounding gardens and water features.

Originally built in the 12th century as a fortress guarding Maine's borders, the castle was reconstructed in the 18th century following its medieval predecessor.

During the 17th century, the castle served as a gathering place for aristocrats, including regular visits from the French writer Madame de Sévigné.

The castle opens for guided tours from July to August, with admission fees starting at 6 euros while children under 18 enter free during Heritage Days.

The castle's entrance pavilion, ground floor rooms, front gate, and park received official monument status recognition on April 24, 1989.
