Château de Menou, 17th-century castle in Menou, France.
The castle features a central pavilion topped with a bell tower and two square pavilions on each side of the main building.
Architect Barthélemy Le Blanc constructed the castle between 1672 and 1684 for Colonel François de Menou on the foundations of Nanvignes Castle.
The former courthouse and prison in the courtyard indicate the high, medium, and low justice rights connected to the old Nanvignes fief.
The castle grounds include French-style gardens accessible through a gate decorated with the Menou-Damas family coat of arms.
Following German occupation damage, the castle underwent extensive renovations, receiving the local nickname 'Little Versailles' due to its architectural grandeur.
