Château de Bussy-Fontaines stands in Doué-en-Anjou (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: 15th century, 16th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built between the 15th and 16th centuries and later modified in the 18th century, Château de Bussy-Fontaines stands on an island at the heart of an estate shaped by water. The site is organized around this core: service buildings on one side, extensive water gardens on the other, structured by an ancient system of canals that create satellite islands. Inside, the 18th-century staircase with its wrought-iron balustrade deserves attention.

What to know

  • The château can be viewed from the outside; regular interior access is not documented, so check in advance.
  • The entire estate, including canals, moats and cast-iron bridges, is protected as a historic monument.
  • The chapel located in the south-east tower is among the protected elements.
