Château d'Hodebert, Medieval castle in Saint-Paterne-Racan, France

The castle features a central structure built upon the remains of an ancient fortress, with a northern pavilion and architectural elements from the 16th century.

In 1545, the castle became the seat of judicial authority for Oë region, marking its significance in local administration and governance.

The château received poet Honorat de Bueil de Racan in 1620, who came to pay homage to his feudal overlord François Brissonnet.

The castle grounds include maintained gardens and designated parking areas, with regular guided tours available through advance reservation.

Lightning struck the castle's dovecote in May 2018, causing a fire that altered this historical structure's appearance.
