History

In 1912, the former dadoes of the Jockey-Club de Paris were moved to the drawing-room in this castle.[1]
Marquess Jacques Le Clerc de Juigné, a politician, inherited this castle from his uncle, where he spent some time with his wife, Madeleine Le Clerc de Juigné, an heiress to the Schneider-Creusot fortune.[2] However, they resided at the Château de Juigné in Juigné-sur-Sarthe.
