Château de Brignac stands in Seiches-sur-le-Loir (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: third quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
This château in the Maine-et-Loire region owes its neo-Gothic style to architect René Hodé, who built it in 1856 for the Comte de Villoutreys. The older Coué manor house was then relegated to service buildings. Inside, the main attraction is an eclectic decor spread across several reception rooms styled Louis XV and Louis XVI, a dining room with two credence tables, and a notable staircase with its cage. The surrounding landscaped park was designed by the Comte de Choulot.
