Origin and history
The Château de la Perraudière, located in Lué-en-Baugeois in Maine-et-Loire, is a building built around 1657 by Sébastien Sérézin, mayor of the commune and former president of the Angers election. This castle, typical of 17th century architecture, consists of a central house body flanked by two wings, framing a courtyard of honour lined with communes, stables and houses for the servants. A chapel, founded in 1662, and a farm complete this coherent architectural ensemble, reflecting the social status of its sponsor.
The estate remained in the Sérézin family until the early 19th century, during which time it experienced several modifications and improvements by its successive owners. The castle retains remarkable decorative elements, including 18th-century woodwork in the large living room and a Louis XVI style dining room. Ranked a historic monument in 1986 for its facades, roofs, chapels and interior decorations, today it remains a private property not open to the public.
The entire castle, including its outbuildings (metalworks, wells, stone garden) and its exterior spaces, illustrates the typical organisation of a rural seigneury in Anjou. The chapel, located behind the house, and the adjacent agricultural buildings testify to the economic and social autonomy of these estates in modern times. The 1986 legal protections cover both exterior structures and emblematic interiors, such as the office or salons, thus preserving an architectural and decorative heritage representative of the region.
