Briacé Castle is an 18th-century country residence located in Saumur, built as a pleasure house. Its significance lies in the preservation of its interior layout, typical of the period, and its original finishes: decorative elements, woodwork and internal fittings remain intact. Its listing as a historic monument acknowledges this ensemble as evidence of 18th-century aristocratic domestic architecture.

What to know

The ground-floor rooms, including the octagonal drawing room, and the upper-floor chambers are the protected and visible spaces in the building.
The courtyard of honour with its gates and boundary walls, as well as the two service buildings, are part of the listed heritage.
