Built at the end of the 18th century for the Marquis d'Armaillé, Craon castle combines a neoclassical tuffeau-stone façade with interiors largely reworked during the Belle Époque. Visitors can see an entrance hall and grand staircase designed by Jules Visseaux, four 18th-century drawing rooms furnished in Louis XVI style, and a 47-hectare park crossed by the Oudon river. The estate also retains notable outbuildings: an orangery, an ice house, a former stud farm and a chapel.
