About the location

Château de Baugé

Place de l'Europe, 49150 Baugé

Maine-et-Loire
Pays de la Loire

In the walled enclosure of a castle with a primitive motte, a residential dwelling is rebuilt in several phases between 1430 and 1455 by Yolande d'Aragon, then by his son René d'Anjou, known as «King René». Used by the Governors of the city between XVI° and XVIII°, it is then deeply reworked inside for administrative use. The façade clearly displays the characteristics of a 15th-century boathouse: an irregular layout, passing dormers with hooks at the roof level, an octagonal tower projecting on the façade, and mullioned bays framed with tuffeau; disappearance of any military element in the architecture.
