Château du Pin stands in Champtocé-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: 15th century, 18th century, milieu 19th century, first quarter of the 20th century). Adult admission costs 5 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 21, 2026.
Château du Pin, in Champtocé-sur-Loire, combines a 15th century main building with 18th century additions in a neo-gothic spirit, later reworked in the mid-19th century while keeping its original vaulted entrance hall and spiral staircase. Around the house, gardens laid out in the 1920s feature an unusual topiary display, with over a hundred yew trees shaped across several themed terraces. An early 18th century chapel with a Plantagenet-style vault forms part of the estate but is not currently open to visitors.
