Château de la Motte-Glain

The Château de la Motte-Glain is a Louis XII-style château near La Chapelle-Glain, in the Loire-Atlantique, 1 km south of the village, on the former border between the Duchy of Brittany and Anjou. It was built by Marshal Pierre de Rohan from the late 15th to the early 16th century, on the site of the old gatehouse of the fortress of the lords of Rougé, an outpost of the marches of Brittany.

It is the first of three châteaux rebuilt by Pierre de Rohan-Gié. Its transitional architecture, between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, makes it a remarkable example.
