Château de la Motte-Glain stands in La Chapelle-Glain (Loire-Atlantique), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 17th century). Adult admission costs 10 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Standing on the historic border between Brittany and Anjou, the Château de la Motte-Glain retains the silhouette of a medieval stronghold while showing, from the late 15th century, the first touches of Italian Renaissance style. Its towers, machicolations and moats speak to its defensive past, while the large windows of the seigneurial residence and carved decoration of chimeras and scallop shells hint at a more open architecture. The estate has belonged to the same family since 1635, who still live in it and continue its restoration.

What to know

  • Adult admission costs 10 euros.
  • The château is both listed and registered as a historic monument, with separate protections covering the gatehouse, the seigneurial residence and the chapel.
  • Visits are mainly guided, led by volunteers.
  • The building's major transformation dates from the 15th century, on a site first recorded in the 13th century.
  • Groups can visit outside the regular season by prior booking.
