Origin and history
The Château de la Renaudière, located in Bernay-Neuvy-en-Champagne (Sarthe, Pays de la Loire), is a monument dating back to the 15th century, with major transformations made during the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. This site is classified among the Historical Monuments, with a specific protection granted to the facades and roofs of the castle and to its chapel, by decree of 29 November 1991. These architectural elements, inscribed in the cadastre under reference D 87, testify to the stylistic and functional evolution of the building throughout the centuries.
The castle is now owned by a private company. Although the practical information concerning its access (visits, room rental or accommodation) is not specified in the available sources, its location in Neuvy-en-Champagne is attested by the Merimée and Monumentum bases. The Insee code of the municipality (72219) confirms its anchoring in the Sarthe department, near Le Mans, in the heart of a region marked by a rich and diverse architectural heritage.
The accuracy of the location of the castle is assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), with an approximate address identified as 1 Saint-Julien, in Neuvy-en-Champagne. This level of detail reflects the limitations of the available geolocation data, while allowing for a clear identification of the site in its territorial context. The absence of additional sources does not allow for further details of its history or past uses, but its status as a Historic Monument underscores its heritage importance.
