Château de Saint-Jean-des-Mauvrets stands in Les Garennes sur Loire (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the Angevin countryside, at Saint-Jean-des-Mauvrets, stands a château whose classical appearance dates largely from the early nineteenth century, built on a lordship traced back to the twelfth century. The main building, rebuilt in 1806, bears bas-reliefs attributed to Pierre-Louis David, an Angers sculptor whose son would later become famous as David d'Angers. The estate also retains a dovecote, a chapel and an old defensive tower, remnants of an earlier fortified complex. The park, now shared with a golf course, contains two small dolmens erected in the nineteenth century out of antiquarian fancy.
