Origin and history

Le logis de la Bluttière is a house in Charcé-Saint-Ellier-sur-Aubance, in the department of Maine-et-Loire (Pays de la Loire). Dating from the boundary between the 16th and 17th centuries, it preserves architectural elements typical of this period, such as sculpted skylights. This monument illustrates the evolution of styles between late Renaissance and emerging classicism, with traces of rock stucco added in the eighteenth century in its chapel.

The house chapel, entirely preserved with its altarpiece, and the main façade decorated with four sculpted windows, were inscribed in historical monuments by order of 11 September 2006. These protections highlight the heritage value of interior and exterior decorations, which are evidence of aesthetic transformations between the beginning of the modern era and late baroque additions. The building thus reflects the local history of Anjou, where the seigneurial or bourgeois houses often mixed residential and religious functions.

Although the sources do not mention historical figures related to its construction or use, the home of the Bluttiere is situated in a regional context marked by the influence of noble or wealthy families. The latter shaped the architectural landscape of Angelvin, between rural mansions and urban residences, while integrating private devotional spaces such as this chapel. Its recent registration (2006) reflects a late but growing recognition of secondary heritage, often overshadowed by the more prestigious castles in the region.
