Château de Blossac, Renaissance castle in Goven, France.
Château de Blossac is a castle in Goven featuring a central block with four bays and two projecting pavilions flanked by lateral wings. These elements surround a forecourt at the estate entrance, creating the structured layout of the residence.
The origins trace to a 15th-century manor that was transformed during the 18th century into the structure we see today. From the original construction, only one tower was preserved while the rest underwent complete redesign.
The library contains elaborate wooden panels transferred from the Julien Hotel on Rue Vivienne in Paris, adding architectural elements from the capital.
The estate includes service buildings, extensive parks, meadows, woodlands, and pathways laid out according to official plans approved in 2019. The green spaces provide ample room for walking and exploring throughout the grounds.
The castle sits at the confluence of the Meu and Vilaine rivers and features two hollow towers with a cornice decorated with ornamental brackets. These architectural details shape the appearance of the facade and showcase craftsmanship from an earlier building phase.
