40 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 40 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 40 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 35 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Sainte-Suzanne (Sainte-Suzanne Castle) (open to visitors), Mayenne's Castle (wheelchair accessible), Château de Craon (Craon Castle) (a listed historic monument), Manoir de Rouessé (184 reviews) and Château des Linières (Linières Castle) (with a restaurant).

7 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 6 and the prices of 5 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 14 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 40 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
