Origin and history
The Logis du Petit Marigné is a seigneurial building located in Daon, in the department of Mayenne (Pays de la Loire). Dating from the first quarter of the 16th century, it illustrates the aristocratic residential architecture of the Renaissance, with subsequent modifications in the 17th and 18th centuries, notably in the interior distribution and chimneys. Its central porch, covered with a slate awning, and its door windows protected by grids, reflect its status as a noble residence.
The house was a vassal fief of Daon's chestnut. He was the framework of the marriage, on 4 March 1494, between Jean de Chivré and Jacquine de Marigné, thus uniting the estate with the powerful Angevin family of Chivré. This marriage also brought the land of the Guénaudière in Bierné, later the Marquisat of La Barre, a Protestant bastion in Haut-Anjou. These family alliances testify to the strategic and social importance of the home at that time.
Partially classified as historical monuments since 12 February 1997 (logis, facades and roofs of the communes), the Petit Marigné preserves remarkable architectural elements, such as triangular frontons surmounting some windows. Its history reflects the seigneurial and religious dynamics of Anjou and Maine between the late Middle Ages and the modern era.
