Of the 234 castles we list in Loire-Atlantique, these 31 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 31 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 26 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Clisson (Clisson Castle) (open to visitors), Château d'Ancenis (Ancenis Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de la Gascherie (Gascherie Castle) (on the historic monuments register), Château de la Berrière (Berrière Castle) (82 reviews) and Château du Goust (Goust Castle) (open to visitors).

9 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. 8 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 31 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
