Château de Champiré stands in Grugé-l'Hôpital (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, second half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in the fifteenth century as a fortified manor surrounded by moats, Champiré was later transformed into a pleasure residence for the Sévigné family. Of its original four towers, only one remains. Between 1768 and 1770, a new wing was erected to become the principal residence, while the older dwelling was retained and incorporated into the whole.

What to know

The listed monument encompasses the château in both its periods (old wing and eighteenth-century reconstruction), the outbuildings surrounding the courtyard (stables, orangery, dependencies), and two basins created along the Arraise stream.
The site preserves remains of a fifteenth-century fortress: only one of the four medieval towers survives, the rest having been transformed over time.
Access and visiting arrangements are not specified: it is advisable to inquire before traveling.
