Château de Goué

A stately dwelling was built in Goué as early as the beginning of the 14th century. However, only its large round tower and the adjoining walls remain of the first castle. It was completely rebuilt in 1519 by Thomas de Goué and extended around 1650. According to the plans, the castle resembles a sitting lion. Its facade is in the Louis XIII style. Vicissitudes: The castle was plundered several times. In February 1517, Patrice de Goué obtained a monition against the perpetrators who had devastated his castle. In April 1615, it was plundered by the soldiers of the Chevalier de Nedain's regiment. On July 18, 1794, the castle suffered attacks by the National Guards. It was registered as a historical monument on November 13, 1973. A ceiling and the interior furnishings were classified on the same date.
