The Chateau de Louroux, or priory of Louroux, is a fortified priory in the 13th century, dependent on the abbey of Marmoutier. The priory housed the Benedictine monks who had the pond dug to provide them with fish and create a water reserve for their mill. The castle can only be visited from the outside.

The Louroux pond site is made up of two ponds: the Reed Pond, which resulted from the construction of a dike by the monks in the 11th century, and the Beaulieu Pond. The natural area of the Louroux pond is a wetland which hosts a great diversity of species. Fish raised in the body of water are the subject of large traditional fisheries.

This fortified keep is a feat of military engineering built from 1013 to 1035 by the then Count of Anjou.
