CHÂTEAU DE SAINTE-SUZANNE

It was a time when Maine attracted the covetousness of its powerful neighbours, the Dukes of Normandy and Anjou.

Through a series of marriages, the château came into the possession of the Alençon family, whose heir at the end of the 16th century was King Henri IV. It was acquired by Guillaume Fouquet de la Varenne, State Councillor and Comptroller General of the Post Office, who had a new dwelling built.

Since 2009, this dwelling has housed a Centre for the Interpretation of Architecture and Heritage (CIAP), which presents the many facets of the heritage of the Pays d'art et d'histoire Coëvrons-Mayenne and, more broadly, the whole of the Mayenne département.
