Château de la Lorie, Heritage castle in La Chapelle-sur-Oudon, France.

Château de la Lorie is a long, low building of pale grey-beige stone with dark grey slate roofs, laid out in a wide U shape at La Chapelle-sur-Oudon. The central block rises two storeys under a steep hipped roof, with three doors on the ground floor, windows above and a small stone balcony. Wings on either side have rows of tall windows, dormers and projecting pavilions capped by pyramidal slate roofs with chimneys, framed by lawns and hedges.

On 21 July 1795, during the Battle of Segré, a Republican column fell into a Chouan ambush near the château and lost more than a hundred men. The building was listed as a monument historique in 1975 and classified in 1979. During the Second World War it served as a hiding place for works from the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes.

The château stands at La Chapelle-sur-Oudon, in Segré-en-Anjou Bleu, where the Oudon valley marks the old border area of Anjou. Its name, la Lorie, is attached to the spot where on 21 July 1795 a Republican column was ambushed by Chouans during the battle of Segré, losing more than a hundred men.
