Heritage

The History of the Castle

19th century
1843

The history of the Château de La Bijoire is deeply rooted in that of the de Bretagne family. The estate was acquired by the de la Bajonnière family

1873

Thirty years later, Gabrielle de la Bajonnière married Charles de Bretagne, a native of Douai, who then moved to the Vendée to settle on his wife’s estate. Eager to transform the existing residence, Charles commissioned the local architect Guillerot to design an expansion. None of the designs met his expectations, so he ultimately decided to have the original building demolished. In its place, he had a Flemish-style château built, a nod to the homes of his childhood in northern France.

1875

Construction was completed in 1875, giving rise to the distinctive silhouette we know today.

2014

More than a century later, in 2014, the château underwent a complete restoration led by Hugues de Bretagne, Charles’s great-grandson and an architect by profession. Together with his wife Catherine, a painter, as well as their children and in-laws, they breathed new life into the family home by modernizing the spaces while preserving its historical character. The Château de La Bijoire has thus become a warm and welcoming home, open for stays, weddings, and large family gatherings, while preserving the spirit of a heritage passed down from generation to generation.

J'ai loué le château de la Bijoire pour passer le réveillon 2025–2026 avec des amis. Nous y avons séjourné 5 jours. L’expérience a été absolument parfaite. Le château offre un très grand confort, idéal pour un séjour convivial et reposant. La réalité est encore plus belle que sur les photos : les espaces sont magnifiques, chaleureux et très bien entretenus. L’accueil que nous avons reçu a été remarquable, à la fois professionnel et attentionné, ce qui nous a immédiatement mis à l’aise. Un lieu d’exception que nous recommandons sans hésitation pour des moments inoubliables en famille ou entre amis.
