Château de la Gaudinière, Historic château in Breil-Barberie district, Nantes, France.
The château displays red brick construction contrasting with local white tuffeau stone, featuring an English garden layout and numerous architectural details.
Built between 1864 and 1873 by architect Léon Lenoir, the château replaced an earlier structure owned by Louis Chaurand, a prominent Nantes shipowner.
The property includes a chapel, an orangery, and extensive gardens that reflect traditional French estate planning and landscape architecture principles.
The City of Nantes maintains the château and its surrounding park, which remains accessible to visitors through the local transportation network.
A giant sequoia tree from North America, planted in 1864, stands near the château as a living testament to nineteenth-century botanical collections.
