Château de la Glestière stands in Pacé (Ille-et-Vilaine), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Pacé, just outside Rennes, the Château de la Glestière displays a Louis XIII silhouette built in 1655 by Jean Gardin. It consists of a central building flanked by two wings and pavilions whose roofs still bear four pointed fleur de lys, echoing the architecture of the nearby Parliament of Brittany. Two turrets topped with imperial style roofs mark the east façade. The grounds also include two dovecotes and a centuries old ginkgo biloba, all under the same heritage protection as the building.
