Information on the history of the castle: https://www.lesherbiers.fr/decouvert/histoire-patrimoine/patrimoine/46-chateau-du-boistissandeau.html Property of the Vendée department, the castle cannot be visited. Managed by the association "Handi-Espoir" it is part of a remarkable and unique structure in France "the Maison d'Accueil Familial le Boistissandeau" which allows the joint reception of disabled adults with their elderly parents.

Built in the 15th century, on either side of the old path called "de Charlemagne" which went from Chantonnay to Sigournais. The mansion comprises 2 pavilions 30-40m apart, pierced with vaulted porches and spanning the municipal road. Part of this manor was burnt down during the vendée wars. Today, the castle offers guest rooms.

Property comprising a main manor house and a keep in the heart of a magnificent estate with an avenue of old oak trees.

Using moats and fortifications from the 11th century, this castle was built in the 15th century. It has long belonged to the Châteaubriand family from which the famous writer descends. In 1757, the Count of Beauharnais, Joséphine's grandfather, bought the estate, which he sold in 1817.

At the end of the 19th century, the owners of this estate razed the old house of La Bobinière to build a more comfortable castle. In 1892, Ernest Masson, the owner, very attached to the development of agriculture in his region and founder of several agricultural unions, showed this interest in the outbuildings of his castle. The volumes, materials used and the layout of the buildings represent the perfect example of a model farm.
