Hôtel de Sévigné, Private mansion in Vitré, France
The Hôtel de Sévigné is a private mansion in Vitré's historic center, positioned between Rue de la Borderie and Rue de Sévigné with a central structure and projecting side wings. The building displays Louis XV architectural features and is surrounded by outbuildings and walls.
The mansion was built around 1800 on the site of Vitré's former city walls, strengthening development in this area. The Hay de Nétumières family acquired the property in 1740 and maintained ownership across generations.
The building displays classical design from the early 19th century in its layout and details. Visitors can see the craftsmanship in its woodwork and flooring, which have survived to the present day.
The mansion is located on Rue de la Borderie in the city center and is easy to spot from the street. Since it remains a private residence, visitors can view the exterior and surroundings but cannot access the interior.
From 1839 to 1906, the building served as an officers' mess for the local garrison, playing a central role in the town's military life. After this period, it temporarily operated as a grocery store before returning to private ownership.
