The Château de la Pinsonnais is a historic estate in Nozay, in the Loire-Atlantique department, France.
History+
The estate is already mentioned in the 16th century as a noble residence. At the beginning of the 17th century, Jehanne d’Achon, wife of Jan du Fresche, received La Pinsonnais; a recognition from 1633 describes the buildings and lands. From 1691, the La Pinsonnais estate passed into the possession of the Hochedé family, who added the name of this land to their family name. In the 19th century, the castle was extensively rebuilt: an wing was added, the outbuildings were redesigned, and a chapel was built in 1886.
Architecture+
The current castle combines old structures and 19th-century additions. It features tuff stone facades, ornate dormer windows, and a corner turret.
Park+
The estate includes a wooded park with hornbeam avenues and a Chinese plum yew, which are among the remarkable trees of the department.
