Château de la Houssinière, 15th-century castle in Nantes, France.
The Château de la Houssinière features chalet-style architecture with twenty-two rooms spread across four levels in the Hauts-Pavés - Saint-Félix district.
Pierre Landais established this estate in 1440 as a hunting lodge, before successive noble families took ownership throughout the centuries.
The castle demonstrates the architectural evolution between the 15th and 19th centuries, with major modifications carried out by architect Henri Parent.
The building currently houses the Rectorate of the Nantes Academy and serves as the official residence for the academy rector.
In 1949, the castle gardens and park received protected natural site status, ensuring the preservation of their natural character.
