CHÂTEAU DE SAINTE-SUZANNE

This was the time when Maine attracted the covetousness of its powerful neighbors, the Dukes of Normandy and Anjou.

Through marriages, the castle became part of the Alençon family, whose heir was King Henry IV at the end of the 16th century. It was acquired by Guillaume Fouquet de la Varenne, State Councillor and General Controller of Posts, who had a new building built.

Since 2009, this building has housed an Architecture and Heritage Interpretation Centre (CIAP), which presents the many facets of the heritage of the Coëvrons-Mayenne region of art and history and, more broadly, of the entire Mayenne department.

Dungeon temporarily inaccessible.

On-site services: WIFI, elevator, shop, free rental of audio guides on request at the castle reception.
