Fronts and roofs (Box B 369): inscription by decree of 10 September 1986
Origin and history
The Manor House of the Orgeraie is an emblematic 16th century building, located in the commune of Rougé, in the Loire-Atlantique. This monument, typical of Renaissance manorial architecture, reflects the rural and seigneurial heritage of the Pays de la Loire region. Its designation as historic monuments in 1986 reflects its heritage value and the desire to preserve this type of building characteristic of local history.
The precise location of the mansion is indicated as the church square in Rougé, in the Loire-Atlantique department. This department, integrated into the Pays de la Loire region, is marked by a rich history linked to agriculture, river trade and the influence of local lords. Manor houses, like the Orgeraie, often served as residences for noble or bourgeois families, while playing an economic and social role in the surrounding countryside. Their architecture, combining residential and defensive functions, illustrates the transitions between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
The Orgeraie Manor House was partially protected by a decree of 10 September 1986, specifically covering its facades and roofs. This conservation measure is part of a broader approach to safeguarding the heritage built in France, aimed at transmitting to future generations tangible testimonies of past times. The available data, from sources such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as a historical monument, without providing details about its potential owners or the specific events that took place there.
