Château de Montertreau stands in Parigné-le-Pôlin (Sarthe), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the Sarthe department, at Parigné-le-Pôlin, Montertreau castle is known above all for its park, laid out in 1877 by Édouard André, one of the leading landscape designers of the 19th century. The neo-gothic house itself, built in 1844 for the Lepaige family, is modest in size and still holds original interior decor alongside Art Deco mosaics added in the 1930s. Visitors come mainly for the planted grounds, with their exotic conifers, sequoias, ginkgos and cedars, set on a ridge overlooking the surrounding plain.
