Description

The Château de Montmirail is a private monument located in the commune of Montmirail, in the department of Sarthe in the Pays de la Loire region.

Dominating the landscape at the centre of the village of Montmirail, the château, transformed over the centuries, is today mainly all that remains of the medieval village. The château has been the subject of several registrations as a historic monument, namely in 1964, 1995 and 1996.

The site held an older castle, although its exact location cannot yet be certified. The present château seems to have been erected in several phases.
