Built in the second half of the 15th and in the 16th century by Louis de Beaumont, lord of Plessis-Macé in Anjou, the castle of Commequiers, now owned by the commune, was, like most of the castles of Bas Poitou, dismantled on the orders of Cardinal Richelieu in 1628, 6 years after the defeat of Soubise at Notre Dame de Riez and Saint Gilles. It was then the property of the La Trémoille, great Protestant lords. Throughout the Middle Ages, the lords of Commequiers exercised their administrative and jurisdictional influence over a vast territory. https://www.payssaintgilles-tourisme.fr/patrimoine-culturel/chateau-de-commequiers/

Saint John the Baptist (Saint JEAN-BAPTISTE), to whom this church in Saint-Jean-De-Monts is dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. His parents are Zacharias and Elisabeth. After the announcement of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends on him from heaven. The feast day of Saint John the Baptist (Jean Baptiste) in the saints' calendar is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Holy Eve'.

Currently the castle is closed to the public, work is planned. Built in the second half of the 15th and 16th centuries by Louis de Beaumont, lord of Plessis-Macé in Anjou, the Commequiers castle, now owned by the commune, was, like most of the castles of Bas Poitou, dismantled on the orders of the Cardinal Richelieu in 1628. Octagonal in shape, with its 8 thick towers connected by curtain walls, the castle would have been built according to the model of the Bastille. To discover the castle in a fun way, the new treasure hunt “Théo and the secret of the Castle” is on sale (€3 per game for up to 3 participating children) in the tourist information offices of the Pays de Saint Gilles and at the Vélorail of Commequiers. It is suitable for children aged 8 to 13, duration: 45 minutes, on foot.
