Château de la Mauvoisinière stands in Orée d'Anjou (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 17th century, 18th century, second quarter of the 19th century). No visits are on record for this building.
Located in Orée d'Anjou, in the Mauges area, the Mauvoisinière château holds a singular place: built in the 1660s, it is the only estate in the region to have survived the Vendée wars intact. The property is surrounded by a rectangular network of moats and includes French-style gardens, two entrance pavilions flanking the courtyard, and outbuildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. A 19th-century chapel, the Gibot mausoleum, completes the ensemble.
