Description
The Château de la Bourgonnière is a castle in Orée-d'Anjou featuring a neoclassical facade combined with older structural elements and a distinctive tower containing a spiral staircase. The property includes multiple chapels and is arranged on grounds with several connected buildings.
History
The castle began around 1400 and was rebuilt from 1810 to 1820 by architect François-Léonard Seheult after suffering damage. This reconstruction shaped the neoclassical appearance seen today.
