Château de la Durbelière, 15th-century castle ruins in Mauléon, France.

The castle features a one-kilometer private pathway leading to its entrance, with a square courtyard surrounded by substantial outbuildings and ponds.

Between 1793 and 1794, the castle experienced five separate fires during the Vendée Wars, leading to its current state of ruins.

The castle marks the birthplace of Henri de la Rochejaquelein, a military commander who led forces during the Vendée Wars in France.

The municipality of Mauléon acquired the castle on September 8, 2023, and visitors can access the site during Heritage Days weekends.

The site contains protected elements including castle remains, service buildings, moats, and a pond, all classified as historical monuments since 1996.
