The Château du Bois-Rouaud is a historic castle in Chéméré, Loire-Atlantique, France.

History

It was built in 1905 to the design of architect Alfred Coulomb.[1] The grounds were designed by Édouard André and his son, René Édouard André.[1]

In 1912, the former dadoes of the Jockey-Club de Paris were moved to the drawing-room in this castle.[1]

Marquess Jacques Le Clerc de Juigné, a politician, inherited this castle from his uncle, where he spent some time with his wife, Madeleine Le Clerc de Juigné, an heiress to the Schneider-Creusot fortune.[2] However, they resided at the Château de Juigné in Juigné-sur-Sarthe.

Architectural signifiance

It has been listed as an official historical monument by the French Ministry of Culture since 2001.[1]
