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/
