Château de la Baronnière stands in Mauges-sur-Loire (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century, milieu 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In the Mauges region, the château de la Baronnière carries the memory of the Vendée wars: the former manor, home to General Charles de Bonchamps, was burned down in 1793 before being rebuilt the following century in a neo-medieval style. The present building, erected between 1854 and 1858 by the architect Hodé, stands alongside a chapel from the 1840s and 18th-century outbuildings that survived the destruction. The whole, both listed and registered as a historic monument, bears witness to two distinct periods: that of the Vendéen nobility and that of the troubadour taste of the Second Empire.
