Logis du Poirier with its terraced garden and vegetable garden : inscription by decree of 19 December 1985
Origin and history
The house of Poirier is a building built in the 18th century, located in the commune of Saint-Hilaire-du-Maine, in Mayenne (Pays de la Loire). This monument, typical of the rural architecture of the period, is distinguished by its terraced garden and vegetable garden, which contributed to its inscription as historical monuments.
The building is located about 600 metres southwest of the village of Saint-Hilaire-du-Maine. Its official inscription as a historic monument dates from December 19, 1985, recognizing its heritage and architectural value. Available sources, such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status and precise location in the department of Mayenne.
In the 18th century, houses of this type were often used as residences for wealthy families or local notables. They reflected a social organization where agriculture and land management played a central role. The garden and terrace garden of the Poirier house illustrate this utilitarian and aesthetic function, characteristic of the rural properties of the period.
