Château de la Thibaudière stands in Montreuil-Juigné (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: milieu 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In the heart of Anjou, La Thibaudière combines a château reshaped over the centuries with a landscaped park laid out around 1840 by the Comte de Choulot.

The visit focuses on these grounds and on the Anglo-Norman style farm buildings, remnants of a model farm.
