Château de Pimpéan (Grézillé)

CHATEAU DE PIMPEAN: CHAPEL

A friend of King René d'Anjou, Bertrand de Beauveau, decided to have the château and its chapel built in the 15^th century. The buildings underwent alterations until the 18^th century. The vast edifice, gradually restored by its new owners since 1993, is surrounded by more than 3 hectares of vineyards and dominates the village of Grézillé.

The mural paintings of the chapel, date back to the 15^th century and decorate the vaults of the two bays. They are in a fairly good state of repair and illustrate two themes: the Passion Angels and the Life of the Virgin.
