Origin and history
The Hamelinière mansion is a building located in the commune of Champtoceaux, Maine-et-Loire, in the Pays de la Loire region. Built between the 16th and 17th centuries, it embodies the noble residential architecture of this period, marked by defensive elements such as moats and towers, although its use may have evolved towards a more residential function over the centuries. The site is typical of the Angelian mansions, often linked to the local aristocracy or the rising bourgeoisie of the modern era.
Listed as historical monuments since 1968, the Hamelinière mansion has its facades, roofs, enclosures and moat protected by this decree. This official recognition underlines its heritage importance, both for its architecture and for its role in local history. The region, then marked by a rural economy and river trade via the Loire, had many manor houses serving as secondary residences or administrative centres for lords or notables.
These buildings also reflected social tensions and protection needs during periods of unrest, such as the Wars of Religion.
