Château de la Cigogne stands in Mignaloux-Beauvoir (Vienne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The château de la Cigogne stands in Mignaloux-Beauvoir, in the Vienne department, on an estate first recorded in the early 12th century, though the present manor house dates largely from the 17th century. Still privately owned by the descendants of the family who acquired it in the mid-19th century, it is best appreciated from the outside, through its façades and rooflines. Its history passes through several families from the Poitiers area, from the Roatins to the Keatings, before settling with the Bain de la Coquerie and later the Parent de Curzon families.
