Of the 234 castles we list in Loire-Atlantique, these 51 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 51 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 46 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Clisson (Clisson Castle) (open to visitors), Domaine de la Garenne-Lemot (également sur communes de Clisson, dans la Loire-Atlantique, et Cugand, en Vendée) (a listed historic monument), Château d'Oudon (Oudon Castle) (919 reviews), Château d'Ancenis (Ancenis Castle) (a listed historic monument) and Château de la Gascherie (Gascherie Castle) (on the historic monuments register).

15 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 11 and the prices of 6 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 12 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 51 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
