Malouinière de la Ville-Bague stands in Saint-Coulomb (Ille-et-Vilaine), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century, 19th century). Adult admission costs 10 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on September 5, 2026.

In Saint-Coulomb, the Ville-Bague is a 17th-century malouinière built by a family of merchants from Saint-Malo, its estate combining a manor house, a chapel and a dovecote set within a four-hectare walled park. Inside, a drawing room displays an early 19th-century panoramic wallpaper depicting the arrival of Pizarro among the Incas, a rare complete example that has been classified. The nearby chapel holds a votive ship offering and 18th-century marble flooring. Visits are by appointment only, as the property remains privately owned.
