Origin and history
The castle of Saint-Juire, located in the commune of Saint-Juire-Champgillon (Vendée), is a monument whose architectural origins spread from the 15th to the 18th century. Its protected elements, including the turret façade and its roof, were registered as Historic Monuments by order of 15 December 1972. This classification specifically concerns the cadastral parcel AB 59, highlighting the heritage importance of this part of the building.
The location of the castle, indicated as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), is specified by a postal address: 17 Impasse du Château, in the Vendée department (code INSEE 85235). This territory, attached to the Pays de la Loire region and the arrondissement of La Roche-sur-Yon, reflects a rural heritage marked by seigneurial or noble constructions, typical of medieval and modern times. The castles in this region often served as residences for the local aristocracy, while playing an economic and social role in the organisation of the surrounding lands.
Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, mention the castle without providing details of its historical owners, major transformations or current use (visits, accommodation, etc.). The absence of practical information in the source text limits the knowledge of its accessibility or contemporary functions, although its registration as a Historical Monuments attests to its heritage value recognized by the State.
