Origin and history

Le Logis de Haute Folie is a mansion located in Angers, Maine-et-Loire department, Pays de la Loire region. Built in the 15th century, it is representative of the civil architecture of this period, marked by the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This type of home, often associated with the aristocracy or the upper bourgeoisie, served both as a residence and as a symbol of power in a context where the region was influenced by the princely courts, especially that of Anjou.

The monument is explicitly linked to King René d'Anjou, a major figure in regional and national history in the 15th century. According to available sources, the mansion was built at its initiative in the middle of this century, reflecting its patronage and attachment to Angers, the capital of its states. The Logis de Haute Folie, classified as a Historical Monument since 1968, thus illustrates the architectural heritage of Angelvin and its medieval heritage. Its listing in the Historical Monuments Inventory highlights its heritage importance and preservation for future generations.

The location of the Logis de Haute Folie at 5 rue du Droit-Guichard in Angers is attested by official databases such as Mérimée. Although the practical information on its access (visits, services) is not detailed in the sources consulted, its status as a protected monument guarantees its recognition in the local cultural landscape. The accuracy of its geographic location is assessed as fair, which may reflect minor uncertainties about its exact location or cadastral boundaries.
