Origin and history

The house of Maine-Moreau is a monument located in Annepont, Charente-Maritime department, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. This seigneurial building dates back to the 17th century, a period marked by the affirmation of local aristocratic authority and the development of noble residences in the province. Its architecture reflects the aesthetic and social codes of the time, where the houses served as both a home and a symbol of power for the ruling families.

Listed under the title of historical monuments by an order of 22 August 1949, the house of Maine Moreau enjoys a heritage recognition which underlines its importance in the regional architectural heritage. This official protection aims to preserve the original characteristics of the building, showing ways of life and social hierarchies under the Old Regime. The Charente-Maritime, rich in castles and houses, illustrates the density of seigneurial heritage in western France, linked to a complex rural and maritime history.
