Château de Bonnétable, Renaissance castle in Briosne-lès-Sables and Bonnétable, France.

The castle features four towers surrounding a quadrangular courtyard, with a main building incorporating a vaulted entrance and a chapel with Angers slate roofing.

Built in 1476 by mason Mathurin Delandelles after Jehan d'Harcourt received permission from Charles VII to restore and fortify the previous castle in 1450.

The castle underwent Neo-Gothic renovations between 1880 and 1888 by architects Henri and Louis Parent, adding decorative elements reflecting La Rochefoucauld family history.

The monument spans across two communes, making it accessible from both Bonnétable and Briosne-lès-Sables, with its location at latitude 48.17694 and longitude 0.41611.

The original construction contract specified a precise area of 110 square feet, with materials sourced locally from Montihier limestone quarries and Clossay forest.
