The Château de La Ballue and its beautiful gardens have a rich and fascinating history. Built between 1616 and 1620 by Gilles Ruellan, general farmer of taxes of Brittany, this castle is an architectural jewel that evokes the rigor of the architecture of the great century. Its central main building, its main courtyard and its monumental staircase bear witness to this period.
The gardens, designed in the seventeenth century, were restored in 1973 according to a contemporary interpretation of Italian models of sixteenth-century topiary art and seventeenth-century baroque influence.
