Architectural ensemble from the 16th, 17th, and 20th centuries. The fortified northern facade, facing the Loire, was originally part of the city walls.

The fortified building, built in the 16th century on the banks of the Loire, probably on the foundations of a pre-existing structure, was an integral part of the city's fortifications. This building has served as the city's administrative building since 1508, when Guillaume Bourneau, Sieur de Montaglan, Lieutenant General in Saumur, took office.
Between 1856 and 1862, the building was expanded with a wing in the Neo-Gothic style, fashionable in the 19th century, designed by the architect Charles Joly-Leterme.
