BEAUMANOIR 1760-2020
Located on the edge of Angers, the district of Beaumanoir has long been in use of agricultural land with beautiful properties: the Château Rosseau and its home, the Château de Beaumanoir and its outbuildings, including stables, a theatre, an orangery and a tower, a funeral room, a mausoleum. Of this beautiful architectural ensemble, there remain today only a few buildings whose history gradually disappears with time and urbanization.
The Mausolée de Beaumanoir, where Nicolas Boury de la Fauvelais (1760-1842) is buried, a lawyer and owner of the site, is now threatened with extinction by the completion of a major real estate project, which is why the association is mobilizing.
