Château de la Seilleraye stands in Carquefou (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: second half of the 17th century, milieu 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The castle of la Seilleraye, built from 1671 after designs by Parisian architect Delahaye, stands in Carquefou in Loire-Atlantique. Its completion extended beyond 1730 under the impetus of the marquis de Becdelièvre. The building retains an eighteenth-century interior with ornate wooden panelling, while its grounds, restructured in the early nineteenth century by Berthault, complete the protected complex with its decorative garden buildings.

What to know

  • The castle and its outbuildings have been listed as historic monuments since 1994, as have the grounds and their ornamental structures.
  • The interior walls reveal layered decoration: original seventeenth-century paintings covered by wooden panelling from the following century.
  • The castle chapel contains a stained-glass window dating from 1833.
