Château de Noirieux

Château de Noirieux dates to the 13th century, and the estate comprises several historic buildings from the 15th to 17th centuries — château, manor, chapel, and orangery. It has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1990.

Today its 19 rooms and suites are split between the château and the manor, set in a 9-hectare park overlooking the Loir Valley, with an outdoor pool and gourmet restaurant.

The estate's multi-building ensemble — château, manor, chapel and orangery, spanning several centuries of construction — gives Noirieux a genuinely cohesive historic character, with each structure recognized together under the same 1990 Historic Monument listing.

The 13th-century origin date situates Noirieux among the older documented estates in the Loire Valley region, predating the surviving 15th-17th century buildings by up to four centuries.

The estate's overlook of the Loir Valley — a tributary river distinct from the larger Loire itself — gives Noirieux a specific landscape setting within the broader Anjou wine and château region.

The nearby city of Angers, with its own Château d'Angers and the celebrated Apocalypse Tapestry, gives guests staying at Noirieux easy access to one of Anjou's most significant historic and artistic landmarks.
