Château de la Cour stands in Prée-d'Anjou (Mayenne), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
At the edge of Ampoigné, in the Mayenne region, the château de la Cour stands on a site fortified since the Middle Ages, where the d'Héliand family built a residence with a monumental staircase and a pavilion in the early 17th century. An independent building was added in the following century. The estate carries the memory of a long line of lords, from the d'Ampoigné family to the Maillé de la Tour-Landry, who held the land from the 11th century onward.
