Château de La Saulaie stands in Candé (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, second half of the 17th century, fourth quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

La Saulaie is a manor house in Anjou dating back to the 15th century, set on a platform surrounded by moats. Fortified and regularized in the 17th century, it underwent major renovation between 1880 and 1885 under architect Auguste Beignet, who shaped its present form. The enclosed park was designed by landscape architect Eugène Bühler during the same period.
