Origin and history

The Manor House of the Cour Condé is an emblematic building located in Chênehutte-Trèves-Cunault, in the department of Maine-et-Loire, in the Pays de la Loire region. Built between the 17th and 18th centuries, it embodies the residential architecture of this period, combining classical and local influences. The mansion has been classified and listed as historic monuments since 1974, demonstrating its heritage importance.

The pavilion on the trunk, as well as the facades, roofs and the large vaulted hall on the ground floor, are protected by ministerial decree. These architectural elements reflect the techniques and style of the time, while illustrating the way of life of the rural elites of Anjou. The mansion is part of a landscape marked by the agricultural and seigneurial history of the region.

In modern times, manor houses such as that of the Condé Court often served as residences for wealthy families or local notables. They played a central role in the social, economic and sometimes political organisation of the countryside. Their preservation allows us today to understand the territorial dynamics and hierarchies of the Old Regime and the Enlightenment century.
