To make a day of it

Château de Saint-Aignan stands in Saint-Aignan (Sarthe), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Saint-Aignan, in the Sarthe department, stands on the site of a medieval stronghold burned down during the Wars of Religion. The present mansion, raised from the 17th century around a central pavilion, still retains parts dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, along with an east pavilion reworked in the 18th century. The estate is surrounded by a moat and extended by a park whose main layout dates from the late 18th century.
