In the 19th century, the Count and the Countess of La Rochefoucauld-Bayers constructed on their La Potherie Estate, a new grand castle in the neogothic style.

The construction began in1848 and was finished in 1854. The design was a classic arrangement one rectangle with 4 towers, very large-60 meters long, 37 meter deep and 47 meters high- 120 rooms on 5 levels with an abundance of limestone sculptures made by Jacques Granneau, student of David D‘Angers.

For the interior, they chose the same style as the outside, neogothic. This original decoration is unique in the Loire Valley, wood sculptures,{mosimage} gothic paneling and furniture to accent the rooms along with large fireplaces and French painting on the ceilings. At the death of her husband, Ida de la Potherie, Countess of la Rochefoucauld-Bayers finished the construction of the Castle and continued to finish her and her husbands dream.

She built many outbuildings starting with the Stables in 1859, then the modern farm and the vegetables garden in 1870. In memory of her husband she built Monplaisir tower in 1875, the entrance and the romantic garden designed by the Count de Choulot in 1882. All this architectural construction in the village made this place one of the great private French residence in the 19th century.
