Château du Bas-Plessis, Medieval castle in Montrevault-sur-Èvre, France
The castle features two round towers with conical slate roofs, connected by stone walls surrounding a central courtyard near a reflective pond.
Following its destruction during the War of Vendée in 1794, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1845 with neoclassical architectural elements.
The north tower contains a chapel on its first floor, while the former library wing housed literary collections until their transfer to the Catholic University of the West.
The castle grounds include a hundred-hectare park with ancient trees and the Saint-Germain stream, forming a natural moat around the structure.
The property maintains two original medieval towers from the previous fortress, which survived the 1794 fire and stand as witnesses to its architectural evolution.
