Origin and history

Château de la Cour d'Ouette is a monument located in the town of Entrammes, in the Pays de la Loire region. The available sources do not specify its exact architectural type or construction period, thus limiting the knowledge of its specific historical context. In the countryside of Upper Maine and nearby Anjou, of which Entrammes is geographically part, castles and manor houses often played a central role in the local social and economic organization.

These buildings were used as seigneurial residences, administrative centres for the surrounding lands, or as places of protection in times of insecurity. Their presence generally reflected the feudal hierarchy and agricultural dynamics of the era.
