Description

The Château de Lassay is a property of over 600 m² with a main house, two medieval towers—the Justice Tower (round) and the Audience Tower (square)—connected by a curtain wall, a dovecote, and a chapel with an artist's studio designed by the renowned regional sculptor Hélène Bertaux.

It dates from the 15th/18th centuries. It has been fully restored since 2001 thanks to the Fondation du Patrimoine (Heritage Foundation) and the Demeure Historique (Historic Houses Association).
The 18th-century main house connects to the Justice Tower via the west gable end. It extends over three levels and includes 15 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 8 toilets.

The grounds encompass 3.5 hectares of parkland, woods, an orchard, a 0.75-hectare pond and swimming canal, and an apiary. The medieval-inspired garden features boxwood parterres and a central fountain.
