Château de Pignerolle stands in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Château de Pignerolle stands at Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou, on the edge of Angers, built in the last quarter of the 18th century as a country retreat by the Avril de Pignerolle family, then heading Angers' renowned riding academy. The estate, now managed by the local urban authority, combines the main house with an orangery, an entrance gate flanked by two hexagonal pavilions, and grounds punctuated by two rotunda-shaped garden follies. Visitors come here for the late Ancien Régime architecture and for the story of a family of master horsemen swept up in the Revolution.
