CHÂTEAU DE VAUX ET SA CHAPELLE - JARZÉ VILLAGES

Just a few strides from Chaumont d'Anjou in the heart of the Anjou countryside, Château de Vaux is entirely surrounded by a moat. The present château was rebuilt in 1821 by the architect Desnoyers on the cellars of an earlier 14th-century château. At the time, the medieval dwelling was surrounded by an enclosing wall with pepper-pot towers; part of the fortifications, the entrance châtelet and three pepper-pot towers still bear witness to this period. A remarkable "relics" chapel, built in 1298 and dedicated to Saint-Georges, was added in 1510. Château de Vaux has been listed on the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments since 1993. The site and in particular the chapel are open to visitors from July 1 to 13 and from August 19 to September 22, as well as during the European Heritage Days on September 21 & 22, 2024. Reservations are highly recommended.
