Origin and history

The Château de Chanteloup, also known as the Château de Boisrier (or Boirié), is located on the places known as Chanteloup and Boisrier, in the municipality of Sillé-le-Philippe, in the department of Sarthe. This monument also bears the name of Boisrier Castle, reflecting its local anchor and its history related to this family.

The castle was built in 1814 by Marie-Louise Comtesse Ogier, born Eynaud, after the death of her husband Jean-Louis Comte Ogier in 1811. She lived there until 1831. The estate then passed into the hands of his descendants, Viscount Achille Ogier and his son, Viscount Alfred Ogier, who retained it until 1857, the year of its sale. Alfred Ogier died in Paris in 1876, marking the end of the Ogier family era in this field.

Since 2020, the castle belongs to Valerie and Benoit Dores. The site has been transformed into a five-star campsite, offering pitches and cottages in the castle outbuildings and in the Orangerie. This last building, dating from the 15th century, constitutes a remarkable architectural vestige of the estate, contrasting with the more recent construction of the castle itself.

Today, the Chanteloup estate combines historical heritage with tourist activity, offering visitors a preserved setting where history and modernity blend together. The Orangerie, in particular, bears witness to the old grandeur of the place, while contemporary amenities make it a popular destination for outdoor stays.
