Origin and history
The Château de la Métairie, located in the commune of Poiré-sur-Vie (Vendée, Pays de la Loire), is a 17th century building. It has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1988, with protection covering its facades, roofs, interior chimneys and entrance gate. This castle illustrates the residential architecture of this period, marked by decorative and functional elements typical of the period.
The monument now belongs to a private company. Although the practical information on the visits or services offered (room rental, guest rooms) is not specified in the available sources, its registration as Historic Monuments bears witness to its heritage importance. The location of the castle, in the vendean bocage, reflects a rural context where large houses often played a central role in the local social and economic organization.
Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum confirm its exact address (2 La Métairie, 85170 Le Poiré-sur-Vie) and its Insee code (85178). No additional information on its history, successive owners or significant events is mentioned in the sources consulted. The accuracy of its location is assessed as satisfactory, allowing a clear identification of the site.
