History

The castle was built in the 17th century for the Le Clerc de Juigné family.[2] In 1680, Jacques Le Clerc de Juigné left his Château de Verdelles in Poillé-sur-Vègre, also in Sarthe, for this new castle.[3]

It was partly demolished in 1832, and subsequently rebuilt from 1918 to 1940.[1]

In the first half of the 20th century, it was the private residence of Jacques Le Clerc de Juigné, a politician, and his wife, Madeleine Le Clerc de Juigné, an heiress to the Schneider-Creusot fortune.
