Origin and history
The Chappedelaine Hotel is a private hotel located in the heart of Mayenne, Place Cheverus, behind the Barre ducale which once served as a city hall. This building is distinguished by its corbelled turret, characteristic of Renaissance civil architecture, as well as a 16th century skylight. These elements, bearing witness to its history, were listed as historical monuments in 1929.
The Chappedelaine family, who gave their name to the hotel, lived there for several generations. Among his notable members, René-Gilbert de Chappedelaine (1679–1730) was a civil judge of Mayenne in 1706. His grandson, Jean-René de Chappedelaine, perpetuated the family heritage in this emblematic place. The partial inscription of the monument in 1929 concerns only the turret and the skylight, highlighting their heritage value.
Today, the Chappedelaine Hotel remains an architectural testimony to the urban history of Mayenne. Its location, near the Ducale Bar, and its preserved elements offer a glimpse of local aristocratic life in the 17th and 18th centuries, while illustrating the evolution of the building in this town of the Pays de la Loire.
