Château du Bas-Plessis stands in Montrevault-sur-Èvre (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Located in the commune of Montrevault-sur-Èvre, the château du Bas-Plessis combines medieval remains with a residence rebuilt in the 19th century following a fire during the Vendée war. Visitors can see two round, slate-roofed towers linked by a curtain wall, the only surviving parts of the feudal castle destroyed in 1794, along with an extensive park planted with old trees and crossed by a stream that widens into a pond. The estate spreads across two communes, Montrevault-sur-Èvre and Mauges-sur-Loire, where gatehouses, a gate and an enclosure wall remain.
