The ruins of Château du Bois Frou in Lassay-les-Châteaux were built in the 16th century and it was once a magnificent residence with four towers, a fountain, a chapel and a drawbridge. However, it was abandoned and fell into disrepair over time. Today you can still see some vestiges of its former glory, such as the gate, walls and windows. The castle is surrounded by meadows which were once splendid gardens. You can imagine what life was like here centuries ago, while enjoying the natural beauty and tranquility of the countryside. The castle is visible from the road, but is not accessible to the public. However, you can admire it from afar and take a few photos. It’s a perfect destination for history buffs and curious explorers.
