Château Bouvet-Ladubay stands in Saumur (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in 1878 for industrialist Etienne Bouvet by architect Piette, this Saumur château bears the marks of an era when architecture freely mixed styles. The residence, listed as a historic monument, is distinguished by its eclectic references and by the coherent complex it forms with its outbuildings: a winter garden, working buildings, and secondary structures that reflect the status of its owner.

What to know

  • The historic monument listing covers the château, the adjoining winter garden, as well as the working buildings and estate installations: aviary, Bollée windmill, dolmens and standing stones.
  • Piette, the château's architect, was a student of Joly-Letertre, placing the project within the educational context of the period's schools.
  • The château dates from the final decade of the 19th century, a period of industrial prosperity in Anjou.
