This week in the agenda

Château de Sablé stands in Sablé-sur-Sarthe (Sarthe), 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, first half of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Sablé stands on a promontory at the confluence of the Sarthe and Vaige rivers, on a site fortified as early as the 10th century by the counts of Maine. The building seen today mostly dates from an 18th century reconstruction carried out by Jean-Baptiste Colbert de Torcy, which replaced most of the medieval fortress. A postern gate, remains of the old enclosure wall and the Tower of the Treasury survive from that earlier period. A pediment carved by Carrier-Belleuse decorates the classical facade.
