Origin and history
The manor house of the Roche-Thévenin is a historical monument located in Montaigu-Vendée, in the Vendée department, in the Pays de la Loire region. Built mainly during the 4th quarter of the 16th century, it also underwent modifications in the 19th century. This mansion is representative of the rural architecture of Vendean, with typical elements such as a kitchen fireplace and a preserved stairwell.
The site was partially protected by an order of 7 December 1992, covering the facades and roofs of the master house and the communes, as well as interior elements such as a fireplace, a stairwell, and an arch decorated by Guillaume Grootaers. These protections reflect the heritage value of the site, although its precise location near La Guyonnière remains approximate according to available sources.
Practical information on public opening, room rental or accommodation is not specified in the sources consulted. The manor remains an example of a local architectural heritage, linked to the rural and seigneurial history of the Vendée, without additional details on its occupants or its historical use being mentioned in the available data.
