110 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 110 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 110 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 76 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de la Perrière (Perrière Castle) (open to visitors), Château de la Lorie (Lorie Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de Soucelles (Soucelles Castle) (you can stay the night), Château de Beaulieu (Beaulieu Castle) (on the historic monuments register) and Château de Lathan (Lathan Castle) (89 reviews).

17 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 15 and the prices of 8 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 31 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 110 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
