Villa de la Douvelière stands in Ancenis-Saint-Géréon (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: first quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Standing in Ancenis-Saint-Géréon, the villa de la Douvelière dates from the early nineteenth century. Built on the remains of a former boatman's house, it displays a neoclassical façade with clean, restrained lines. Its architecture reflects the shift from traditional riverside dwellings to the urban aesthetics of the early 1800s.

What to know

  • The monument's protection focuses solely on the main façade, which was listed in 1997.
  • No interior visits are available: this is a private residence, and only the exterior façade is visible to the public.
  • The building may possibly be attributed to architects Etienne Blon or Louis Chaigneau, though attribution remains uncertain.
