The château de Clavières stands in Le Bignon-du-Maine, in the Mayenne department. Built in the early 1830s for a magistrate from Laval, it later took on a very different role, first as a religious novitiate and training house, then as a sanatorium during the twentieth century. Its chapel still holds the graves of the family who originally built it.
