Château de Bouillé stands in Torcé-Viviers-en-Charnie (Mayenne), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The castle of Bouillé lies in ruins in the commune of Torcé-Viviers-en-Charnie, in the Mayenne department, about one kilometre north of the village. Of the extensive buildings raised between 1490 and 1510 by the Bouillé family, only a large tower with vaulted cellars, a half buried chapel and a Renaissance style tower known as the treasure tower remain standing. Visitors come here for scattered remnants rather than an intact building, remains of what was once one of the largest residences in the Maine region.

What to know

The site consists of scattered ruins spread over several hectares rather than a restored castle building.
One of the old towers has been converted into a private dwelling, which limits access to parts of the grounds.
No opening hours or admission fees are established, so visiting conditions depend on the actual accessibility on site.
The uneven ground, with tangled foundations and vaulted cellars, calls for care and sturdy footwear.
