Description

Hauterive Castle (Château de Hauterive) is a castle located in Argentré, within the department of Mayenne. The castle has been a registered monument since March 13, 1989. Originally established as a medieval seigneurial manor, the estate evolved over several centuries into an aristocratic residence associated with several noble families, including the du Bellay, Hautefort, Berset, Fitzgerald, and Montalembert families.

Much of the château's present appearance dates from extensive eighteenth-century reconstruction campaigns undertaken by Jean-Baptiste Berset.

Château de Hauterive is included in the Route des Joyaux de la Mayenne, a heritage circuit highlighting notable historic châteaux, parks, and gardens within the department.
