Château de la Brunière, Renaissance castle in Le Givre, France.

Château de la Brunière is a Renaissance castle in Le Givre marked by stone facades and high rooflines that define the property's profile. The structure contains twelve granite fireplaces primarily distributed through the main building and its perpendicular side wing.

The castle was built during the Hundred Years' War. In 1591 Jean Bodin rebuilt it and gave it a Renaissance style. In 1621 royal troops invaded and sacked it. It has been protected as a monument historique since 8 October 1984.

The castle displays French Renaissance architecture through its detailed entrance portal and numerous monumental granite fireplaces that spread across the main building and its side wing. The traditional moat bridge continues to define the character of the place.

The castle remains a private residence today with limited visitor access to specific areas only. Check ahead before planning your visit to understand what parts of the estate are available to see.

Henri IV stayed at the castle in the late 16th century, before 1591 builder Jean Bodin's work was undone: in 1621 royal troops stormed and sacked the château. The twelve monumental granite fireplaces inside are the detail to look for.
