Origin and history
The Château de Montigny, located in Villeneuve-en-Perseigne in the Pays de la Loire, was built in the first half of the 18th century. It was initially accompanied by large regular gardens, the route of which is still partially preserved today. This aristocratic domain reflects the typical architecture and landscaping of this period, designed to highlight the social status of its owners.
Around 1900, the castle underwent major transformations with the addition of large stables and numerous ancillary buildings, as well as modern technical equipment for the time. These developments illustrate the adaptation of the estate to the agricultural and residential needs of the early twentieth century. A notable feature is the integration, from the middle of the 19th century, of the former medieval parish church Notre-Dame de Montigny, disused and now included in the enclosure of the castle.
The estate also includes remarkable elements such as a leak, an orange plant, a fruit tree, a log, a washhouse, a canal, and a building of machines housing a gasgen and a poor gas engine. These facilities reflect the technological evolution and practical concerns of owners over the centuries. The castle, its outbuildings and its gardens were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 1 September 2016, recognizing their heritage and historical value.
The protections cover various elements: the church and its old cemetery, moats, fence walls, terraces, as well as the remarkable interiors of the castle (vestibula, wrought iron staircase) and stables (old saddlery and its decor). These measures aim to preserve the integrity of an architectural and landscaped ensemble representative of centuries of local history.
