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

Of the 419 castles we list in Maine-et-Loire, these 88 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 88 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Classical period, spread across 60 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Pignerolle (Pignerolle Castle) (open to visitors), Château de la Perrière (Perrière Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de la Lorie (Lorie Castle) (with a restaurant), Château du Pin (Pin Castle) (wheelchair accessible) and Château des Rues (Rues Castle) (19th century).

13 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 9 and the prices of 5 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 19 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Classical period, with 88 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
