Château de La Maison-Rouge stands in La Bruère-sur-Loir (Sarthe), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The Château de la Maison Rouge stands in La Bruère-sur-Loir, in the Sarthe department, on the site of a medieval manor torn down in 1862 by the Comte de Jourdan de Savonnières. The present building, made of tuffeau stone and brick, was erected around 1880 in its place, while the adjoining chapel, spared from demolition, remains the only trace of the earlier estate. The property passed through the Rougé, Savonnières and Jourdan de Savonnières families before later becoming a boarding school.
