Château de Pimpéan stands in Gennes-Val de Loire (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: 15th century, 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Pimpéan castle, located in Gennes-Val de Loire, represents two successive building phases. From a 15th-century fortress, the chapel, cellars, former stables and fortified walls remain. Upon these foundations, a new château with four residential wings was built in the latter half of the 17th century, merging medieval heritage with classical architecture.

What to know

  • The chapel and cellars are classified as historic monuments, while the remainder of the castle is registered.
  • The four residential wings date from the 17th century and reflect the site's architectural evolution.
  • Medieval elements persist: the fortified walls recall the original 15th-century fortress.
