Château de la Bourgonnière, Historical castle in Orée-d'Anjou, France

The Château de la Bourgonnière stands with its neoclassical facade, incorporating elements from the 16th century and featuring a prominent tower with a spiral staircase.

Built around 1400, the castle underwent significant reconstruction between 1810 and 1820 under architect François-Léonard Seheult following the destruction during the Vendée Wars.

The castle chapel contains a notable 16th-century polychrome Christ figure, reflecting the religious art traditions of the Loire Valley region.

Visitors need to schedule appointments for guided tours of both the castle and chapel, as these structures remain private properties with restricted access.

The castle grounds include a Protestant chapel from the 17th century known as 'à Madame' and a 19th-century Saint Joseph chapel near the entrance.
