Origin and history
The Domaine de la Dubrie is a castle located mainly in the commune of Voulmentin, with an extension on Beaulieu-sur-Bressuire, in the Deux-Sèvres department. Built between the 4th quarter of the 16th and 18th centuries, it embodies the residential architecture of the modern era, marked by defensive and agricultural elements, as evidenced by its dovecote.
The dovecote of the estate, the only protected element, was registered as historical monuments by order of 29 August 1991. This listing reflects the heritage importance of this type of construction, often associated with major rural areas and their economic role in land and resource management.
Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, indicate that the domain is located near Bressuire, with an administrative address in Voultegon (code Insee 79242). However, GPS coordinates suggest a more precise location near Bressuire, highlighting the complexity of its territorial control over several municipalities.
