Château d'Aux stands in La Montagne (Loire-Atlantique), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The château d'Aux stands in the commune of La Montagne, in the Loire-Atlantique department, near Nantes. Its name is tied to an episode of the Vendée war: on 10 August 1793, fighting broke out nearby between republican troops and Vendean forces coming from Port-Saint-Père, who aimed to cut off the nearby Indret foundry. Accounts from the time disagree on the exact numbers of combatants and casualties, but agree on the outcome: after several hours of gunfire, the attackers were repelled and withdrew in good order once their leader, La Cathelinière, was wounded.

Written from Bataille du château d'Aux
