Origin and history

The château de la Chassetière, located in Notre-Dame-d'Oé (Indre-et-Loire), is an 18th-century mansion listed as a historical monument since 6 March 1947. The main building, dated 1720, is attributed to René Le Gras, inspector of the general farms and lord of the place. It consists of a rectangular body flanked by two pavilions, extended by servitude buildings, including a kitchen and commons. A 19th century pavilion was later added.

Former fief dependent on the castle of Tours and other local seigneuries, the estate belonged to several influential families, including the Brodeau, François Besnard (bourgeois de Tours), Joseph Aubry (counsellor of the king), and Philippe Vallée de Hautmesnil, chief engineer of the generality of Tours. The property was also owned by the Legras de Sécheval.

The castle is surrounded by a French garden and a wooded park, separated by a court of honor. Protected features include facades, roofs, a sundial, as well as the garden and park. These features reflect the architecture and landscaping typical of the 18th century seigneurial residences in Touraine.

The domain illustrates the evolution of the aristocratic and bourgeois properties in the Centre-Val de Loire, marked by family alliances and administrative or fiscal functions. Its inscription in historic monuments underlines its heritage importance, both for its architecture and for its history linked to the royal and local administration.
