Castle of Poligné en Mayenne

Origin and history

The Château de Poligné is a building located in the commune of Bonchamp-lès-Laval in the Pays de la Loire region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This monument therefore remains partially mysterious for local historians.

In the Pays de la Loire region, castles have often played a central role in the social and economic organization of the territories. In medieval and modern times, these buildings served as seigneurial residences, defence sites or administrative centres. The castle of Poligné, like many others, may have had a similar function, although the archives are missing to confirm it.
