Château de la Coudraie-Noyers stands in Mauléon (Deux-Sèvres), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Château de la Coudraie-Noyers was built in the 15th century and extensively modified in the 17th century. Its architecture blends the original medieval features with later interventions. The property includes remains of a French garden to the north and a water feature, while the tower galleries retain brick walls added in the 19th century by workers from Cholet's manufacturing plants.

What to know

The façades, roofs, water feature and garden remains have been protected as historical monuments since 1943.
The architecture reflects the loss of two towers that once closed the eastern façade, which formerly balanced the towers on the opposite side.
The landscaping, including the water feature and remains of the French garden, are integral parts of the protected heritage.
