Origin and history
The Château du Plessis-Greffier is a building located in the commune of Huillé, Maine-et-Loire, in the Pays de la Loire region. Built between the 15th and 18th centuries, it embodies the typical architecture of the Angelian castles, with stylistic influences specific to each period of its construction. The monument has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1969, reflecting its heritage importance and preservation.
The location of the castle, in the department of Maine-et-Loire, places it in the heart of a region marked by a rich history, especially linked to Anjou. From the 15th century onwards, this area was a crossroads of economic and cultural exchanges, where castles often served as seigneurial residences or agricultural land management sites. The Plessis-Greffier, like other similar buildings, reflects this dual function: symbol of power for its owners and centre of activity for local populations.
The facades and roofs, protected since 1969, illustrate this historical continuity throughout the centuries.
