First recorded in 1312, the site was originally a medieval fortress. The ruins of the château, including its moat-lined quadrangular layout, fortified walls, and a striking octagonal tower, still stand today as a dramatic reminder of its noble past.
In the late 16th century, under the direction of Brandelis de Champagne, the estate underwent a Renaissance transformation. Intricate stonework, sculpted motifs, and elegant architectural features — such as a bull’s-eye dormer window — reflect the refinement brought to this once-military stronghold.
Today, alongside the atmospheric ruins, the property includes two partially restored stone buildings, offering immediate use and development potential:
Building 1: A partly renovated residential wing with a kitchen, salon area, shower room, and four bedrooms with ensuites & under floor heating - ideal for temporary living, guest accommodation, or staff quarters. It is on well water and has the option of l'eau de ville too.
Building 2: A spacious former events hall, featuring a caterer's kitchen, cloakroom, and toilet facilities, perfect for hosting receptions, exhibitions, or cultural gatherings.
The estate also includes the footprint of the original Renaissance gardens, still clearly visible and awaiting revival. The current owners did begin works and were committed to respectful restoration, preserving both historical integrity and future versatility.
This property presents an exceptional opportunity for:
Heritage restoration
A destination wedding or event venue
A cultural or exhibition site
Eco-tourism, retreat centre, or boutique hospitality
From its dramatic entrance once guarded by a drawbridge to its wide central courtyard and surrounding buildings, it is more than just a property — it’s a canvas of historical beauty ready for its next chapter.
Location: 10kms from Villaines le Juhel with all amenities & 20 kms from the town of Mayenne.
240kms to Paris
tgv runs from Laval or Alencon - both 43kms away
