The Château du Plessis-Macé

Guide of the Maine-et-Loire

Travel Guide > France > Pays de la Loire > Maine-et-Loire > The Château du Plessis-Macé

Boasting a surrounding wall flanked by towers, the Château du Plessis-Macé was built in the 12th century and then partly rebuilt in the 15th century, but still has preserved its fortified castle appearance. Medieval fortress, the Château du Plessis-Macé is also an elegant country estate. Inside the surrounding wall, the defensive architecture is replaced by a refined Renaissance stately home with magnificent sculpted balcony. The furnished rooms – library, main salon, dining room – and chapel, which contains Gothic wooden panelling, are open to the public.

In June and July, the Château du Plessis-Macé hosts the Anjou festival, an event giving theatre performances.
