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

Of the 216 castles we list in Mayenne, these 36 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 36 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 31 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Mayenne's Castle (open to visitors), Château du Bois Thibault (Bois Thibault Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de Craon (Craon Castle) (207 reviews), Manoir de Rouessé (a listed historic monument) and Château de Bourgon (Bourgon Castle) (15th century).

7 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 7 and the prices of 4 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 36 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
