Château de la Douve stands in Segré-en-Anjou Bleu (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Overlooking the Verzée valley near the village of Bourg-d'Iré, in Maine-et-Loire, the château de la Douve occupies a hillside site once home to a 16th-century seigneurial house. The present building dates from the late 19th century, commissioned by a member of the La Forest d'Armaillé family, and a chapel was built soon after its completion. Ownership of the estate passed through several hands during the 20th century, and it remains today in private hands.
