Château de La Garnache

Highlight • Castle

The Château de la Garnache was an imposing 13th-century defensive complex at the heart of a very important seigneury that included Challans and Beauvoir-sur-Mer, extending as far as the Île d'Yeu and Noirmoutier. It was one of the strongholds of the Marches of Brittany, owned by the lords of Clisson, notably Gilles de Rais.
Today, only the moat, visible from the road, and two towers stand in the middle of a park accessible by stairs.

Caraterie Castle

Highlight • Other

The Château de la Caraterie dates from the 19th century. But, it replaces an older building burned down in 1832 during one of the last skirmishes of the attempted uprising of the Duchess of Berry. Because the Duchess had decided to raise the country against Louis Philippe (dynasty of Orleans), wanting to depose him, and carry his son (dynasty of Bourbons, legitimists) on the throne of king of France.
