Château de la Cantaudière

The Château de la Cantaudière is a nobleman's residence in Moutiers-les-Mauxfaits with protected facades and roof elements from the Renaissance period. The interior contains a notable decorative fireplace in the main salon that showcases the architectural craftsmanship of its era.

The residence was built in the second half of the 16th century, marking an important phase in the architectural development of the Vendée region. This period of construction shaped its Renaissance design and structural character.

The castle received official recognition as a classified historical monument in December 1978, preserving essential elements of French architectural heritage.

The residence sits on private grounds and is not typically open for casual visits. During specific heritage event days, visitors may have opportunities to view the building and its features in person.

The fireplace retained its original Renaissance form and received special protective status in 1978 as one of the building's most valuable features. This recognition makes it a centerpiece of the structure's protected architecture.
