Château de la Bourgonnière stands in Orée d'Anjou (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: 16th century, first quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Orée d'Anjou, the château de la Bourgonnière brings together several architectural periods on a single castral site: a fortified medieval manor, a 16th century chapel, and a neoclassical residence built in the early 19th century over the remains of an earlier Renaissance building. Visitors can trace the layers of occupation, from medieval moats still visible in the ground to the refined façades commissioned by 19th century owners. Protected as a listed historic monument, the estate illustrates a rare continuity between defensive architecture and a gentleman's residence.
