Of the 163 castles we list in Sarthe, these 48 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 48 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Classical period, spread across 43 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Montmirail (Montmirail Castle) (open to visitors), Château du Grand-Lucé (you can stay the night), Château de Sablé (Sablé Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de Poncé-sur-le-Loir (149 reviews) and Château de la Groirie (Groirie Castle) (on the historic monuments register).

8 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 8 and the prices of 4 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 8 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Classical period, with 48 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
