Château de Thouaré stands in Thouaré-sur-Loire (Loire-Atlantique), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Thouaré stands on the banks of the Loire, in the Loire-Atlantique region, set within a park of centuries-old trees. Largely built in the 14th century with earlier elements, including moats dating back to the 10th century, it features two wings joined by a Renaissance lantern tower. Its stone and tuffeau dovecote, topped with a slate dome, holds 1189 nesting niches and reflects the former power of the lords who owned the estate. As a private property, the château itself is closed to visitors, though the dovecote can sometimes be seen during specific open days.
