To make a day of it

Château de Muflet stands in Saint-Aubin-du-Plain (Deux-Sèvres), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 14th century, fourth quarter of the 16th century, first quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Muflet stands in Saint-Aubin-du-Plain, in the Deux-Sèvres, on land tied to a lordship recorded as early as 1378. Its 14th century keep, pierced with arrow slits and fitted with a spiral staircase, overlooks a group of buildings reworked during the Renaissance and the early 17th century. Visitors can still see a main house equipped with gun loops, a vaulted 15th century oratory, and the remains of a square enclosure with a corner tower and a spired gatehouse, the whole surrounded by moats.

What to know

  • The site has been listed as a historic monument since 2005, a protection covering the main house, outbuildings, chapel, moats, bridge and enclosure wall.
  • No opening hours or admission fees appear in the verified data, so it is worth checking locally before visiting.
  • The property combines a fortified medieval château with farm outbuildings around a moat-encircled courtyard, suggesting the visit is mainly from the outside.
  • The 14th century keep and the 15th century oratory are the oldest surviving elements on site.
