A fortified castle built in the 12th Century the site lost its defensive integrity in the mid-15th Century and ultimately became a comfortable private residence. Daniel Duclaux, a rich industrialist and art lover lived there from 1981. He bequeathed it to the city of Angers in 2003, along with a valuable collection of art from across Europe dating from the 12th - 16th centuries, and separately, a library of many important volumes.
