Château du Plessis, Casson, Historical castle in Casson, France
The Château du Plessis features protected facades, rooftops, a grand staircase with wrought iron railings, and an Empire-style salon with period decorations.
Built in 1753 by architect Jean-Baptiste Ceineray for Martin Boux de Casson, a counselor at the Parliament of Brittany, the castle received its final wing in 1805.
The estate includes a 19th-century monument with a pond, grotto, and pink sandstone obelisk dedicated by Jacques-Olivier Urvoy to his wife Marie-Pélagie.
Located 20 kilometers north of Nantes at the entrance of Casson village, the private property requires advance permission for visits and special events.
The land of Plessis holds records of lordship dating to 1260, with François Dollier de Casson, who later shaped Montreal's urban planning, among its notable residents.
