Château de la Courbe de Brée stands in Brée (Mayenne), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century). Admission is free. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The Château de la Courbe stands two kilometres from Brée, in Mayenne, on a site occupied since the 12th century. The main interest lies in the 13th century great hall, which still bears period wall paintings and two carved medallions showing a tigress and a horseman. Successive building campaigns, from the new residence to the defensive towers raised during the Wars of the League, trace several centuries of changes within a single lordship.
