Facts and practical information

The castle of Saint-Mesmin-la-Ville is a castle that is located in the commune of Saint-André-sur-Sèvre in the department of Deux-Sèvres.

However, this castle bears the name of a commune in the Vendée department, located less than two kilometers away: Saint-Mesmin. It has been the stronghold of several families since the 14th century, and was not really a feat of arms until 1793. After a long period of deterioration, the castle was restored in the 1980's and is now the property of a mixed syndicate grouping the departments of the Vendée and the Deux-Sèvres, who open it to visitors.
