THE CASTLE HISTORY

In the XIXth Century

Dating from the 10th century, the Gressière Castle overlooked the bay of Bourgneuf. Strategic location at the time, it had an imposing dungeon.

In the XIXth Century

In the middle of the 19th century, the ruined Gressière Castle was destroyed. It was rebuilt by Arthur Charrette de Boisfoucault son of Renée Meunier de Beaumont and her husband Gabriel Charrette de Boisfoucault, descendant of the lords of Sainte Pazanne. He brought a Louis XIV style to the house surrounded by vast green spaces and five farms. The latter will be sold after the death of Arthur Charrette de Boisfoucault.

Today

Since October 2021, it is the turn of Alan Castelsagué, the new manager, to take on a new challenge and write a new page in the history of Domaine de la Gressière. The goal is to make this place steeped in history a real living space accessible to all.
