Origin and history
The Manor House of Vau is a 16th century building located in the commune of Louerre, Maine-et-Loire, in the Pays de la Loire region. Although some sources mention Tuffalun as a location, official data (Merimée database and Wikipedia) clearly place it in Louerre, with a specific address: 5202 F Le Vau. This mansion is representative of Renaissance seigneurial architecture in Anjou, a period marked by the emergence of noble residences combining residential functions and power symbols.
The manor house was inscribed under the title of historical monuments by order of 13 January 1965, a protection that specifically concerns the chapel, its altarpiece and its statues. This inscription reflects the heritage value of the building, particularly for its religious elements. At that time, the Angelian mansions often served as administrative and religious centres for local seigneuries, reflecting the influence of the Church and the aristocracy on the territory. No information is available on any owners or major events related to the site.
Available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) highlight the importance of the mansion in the heritage of Maine-et-Loire, without providing details of its specific history or occupants. The approximate location, noted with a priori satisfactory accuracy (level 6/10), suggests that the site could be accessible, but no official information is provided on the visits, services or current status of the site. The base Mérimée the reference under the code Insee 49003, confirming its anchoring in the department of Maine-et-Loire and the district of Angers.
