Origin and history

The Château de Lauresse is a 4th quarter of the 17th century building located in the town of Lombron, in the department of Sarthe (Pays de la Loire). According to the communal archives of 1810, it belonged to the Guillis family, merchants in Le Mans, without mentioning remarkable elements (tables, abbeys). Its architecture, typical of the time, reflects the influence of local seigneurial residences.

Built around 1670, the property is distinguished by its two entrance pavilions surrounding the courtyard of honour. The facades and roofs of the castle, as well as these pavilions, were inscribed in the Historical Monuments on 2 March 1970. The departmental archives of the Sarthe conserve communal deliberations of 1810 evoking its state and owners of the period.

Located 1 km southeast of the town of Lombron, the castle is part of the historical landscape of Maine, a province on which the region once depended. There is no evidence of a religious or military vocation; It would be a private residence, probably linked to local commercial or agricultural activities. The accuracy of its current location is estimated passable (note 5/10), with an approximate address at 150 Connerré Road.

The available sources (Wikipedia, Merimée base, Sarthe archives) underline its status as a Historical Monument, without providing details on possible transformations after the 17th century. No information is available on its access to the public, its current vocation (visits, accommodation) or possible interior developments.
