Origin and history

The Grand Nozay Manor House, located in Angers in the department of Maine-et-Loire, is a building dating from the second half of the 16th century. This historic monument, typical of Renaissance architecture, was erected for the Lestoré family, a local lineage whose influence is reflected in the design of the building. Its partial inscription in the Historical Monuments in 1964, especially for its chapel and altarpiece, underscores its heritage importance.

The location of the manor, at 14 Chemin de Nozay, is documented with satisfactory accuracy (note 8/10), although two approximate addresses coexist in the databases. The site, which is now potentially open to uses such as visits, room rental or accommodation, remains an architectural testimony to the history of the angeline. However, its current status and functions are not detailed in available sources.

The mansion chapel, protected by ministerial decree in 1964, is the most remarkable element of the estate. This altarpiece, associated with the religious building, illustrates the artistic patronage of the Lestoré family and the cultural influence of Angers in the Renaissance. The sources also mention a Creative Commons license for images of the monument, indicating a contemporary interest in its dissemination and enhancement.
