Origin and history
The Château du Feu is an 18th-century building located in Juvigné, in the department of Mayenne, in the Pays de la Loire region. Built on the remains of an older building, it rises on a platform girded with moat, typical of the seigneurial residences of the time. The site also includes an orange shop, a greenhouse, and a structured garden, now partly converted into a vegetable garden. The interior fittings, such as the alcoves and chimneys decorated with the coat of arms of the Corbière family, reflect the prestige of its owners as early as the 17th century.
The castle retains most of its original features, including the woodwork and the ironwork ramp of the main staircase, despite some modifications made in the 19th century. Together, including moat, commons, and aisles planted, was partially inscribed in historical monuments by order of 26 May 2010. This classification also protects landscape elements, such as ditches, walls, and garden-structured plantations, highlighting the heritage importance of the estate.
The family of La Corbière, owner of the premises since the seventeenth century, marked the castle with its emblem, visible on the chimneys of the first floor. The site, accessible via a tree-lined alley, illustrates the evolution of noble residences in Mayenne, between defensive function inherited from the past and aesthetics of the Enlightenment. The buildings of the farmhouse and the pavilions closing the courtyard complete this architectural ensemble, witness to local and regional history.
