37 châteaux listed · verified entries first, then the most visited; alphabetical index at the bottom of the page

Of the 234 castles we list in Loire-Atlantique, these 37 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 37 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Classical period, spread across 34 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Domaine de la Garenne-Lemot (également sur communes de Clisson, dans la Loire-Atlantique, et Cugand, en Vendée) (open to visitors), Château de la Gascherie (Gascherie Castle) (on the historic monuments register), Château de la Berrière (Berrière Castle) (82 reviews), Château de Briord (Briord Castle) (18th century) and Château de la Seilleraye (Seilleraye Castle) (a listed historic monument).

6 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 4 and the prices of 2 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 7 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Classical period, with 37 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
