Origin and history
Le logis des Landes is a house located in Loire-Authion (formerly Brain-sur-l'Authion), in the department of Maine-et-Loire, in the Pays de la Loire region. This monument, whose origins date back to the 15th and 18th centuries, illustrates the residential architecture of these periods, mixing medieval elements and subsequent transformations. Its designation as historic monuments in 1984 is a testament to its heritage importance, particularly for its facades, roofs, and the park gate.
The location of the house in the former commune of Brain-sur-l'Authion (now integrated with Loire-Authion) reflects the rural and seigneurial history of Anjou. Such houses often served as residences for wealthy families or local notables, playing a role in the social and economic organization of the region. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the lifestyles and architectural evolutions between the Middle Ages and the modern era.
The protected elements of the Landes house include the facades and roofs of the main building as well as the communes, as well as a park gate, all inscribed by ministerial decree. These architectural details, combined with its ranking, make it a representative example of the Angelian heritage. Although the sources do not specify its current use (visit, rental, etc.), its status as a historic monument ensures its conservation for future generations.
