Château d'Aubigné stands in Aubigné-sur-Layon (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 11th century, 15th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Aubigné-sur-Layon, on the border between Anjou and Poitou, stands a former feudal stronghold whose square keep dates from the very end of the 11th century. The site retains a double enclosure, square towers and a fortified gate adjoining the village church, reflecting successive alterations up to the 15th century. Part of the buildings is still lived in by the owners, which explains why access to the grounds and gardens is limited.
