The château de Bougon, in Bouguenais near Nantes-Atlantique airport, is a 19th century building left derelict for decades. Built for the Nantes industrialist Paul Renaud on a 110 hectare estate acquired in 1864, it was seized by German forces, bombed by the Allies and later struck by several fires, including a severe one in 2025. It is not a visitable site but a ruin now set for demolition.
