Château du Grand-Blottereau stands in Nantes (Loire-Atlantique), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). No visits are on record for this building.
The château du Grand-Blottereau stands in a park in the Doulon-Bottière district of Nantes, away from the city centre. Built in the 18th century for a wealthy shipowner, it displays a rocaille style rarely found in the Nantes region, and its architect remains a matter of debate. Visitors reach it via a long tree-lined drive crossing formal French gardens bordered by moats, arriving at a façade shaped by centuries of varied uses.
