Beautiful view of the Sarthe

very beautiful castle, on the edge of the departmental road.

The old fortress of Malicorne which preceded this castle was founded in the 11th century. It fell into English hands for just over 50 years in the 14th and 15th centuries, but was eventually recaptured. The castle you see now was built in the 18th century on the ruins of the old building.

At the beginning of the 11th century it was a Benedictine abbey. It is worth visiting, but also crossing the river to admire it from its elevated position.

The mill dates from the 10th century. The lords of Champagne allowed the inhabitants of the parish to use the mill for a fee. In the 19th century, three wheels were in service. The smallest was used to grind oak or chestnut bark to tan hides. The other two wheels were used to produce flour. The mill has been beautifully restored over the past decade.

But at the beginning of the 11th century, this abbey was a Benedictine abbey. It is worth visiting it, but also crossing the river and admiring the abbey from this grandiose angle.

Malicorne-sur-Sarthe is ideal for a break with its river stopover, its mill and its earthenware and ceramics museum. Settle down and enjoy this commune classified as a City and Craftsmanship.
