Château de Dobert stands in Avoise (Sarthe), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Standing in a bend of the Vègre river in Avoise, in the Sarthe department, the château de Dobert grew out of a 15th-century manor thoroughly transformed in the 18th century. Visitors can see a classical main building flanked by narrow towers on the courtyard side and two matching wings facing the garden, surrounded by a moat and reached by a long tree-lined drive. The estate, with its outbuildings and irrigation aqueduct, still reflects a working agricultural layout.
