he former lordly court "Château de Launay-Hazard" was documentarily mentioned for the first time in 1380.

The former noble court "Château de Launay" served as a border fortification of the Bretagne in its time of origin as of 1427 under the bloodline of "Rouxel" and was surrounded by a moat which partially still exists today. "Château de Launay" also served as court of jurisdiction. In the 15th and 16th century the noble court was owned by the aristocratic family "TROTEREAU" which spawned the descendent "Francois de Trotereau". He served as a consultant as well as treasurer and supreme financial administrator of the king in the Bretagne.

In the 17th century it was rebuilt into a hunting château by the "knight André SIMON de Launay" for royal hunting. He had the high, middle and lower jurisdiction of the parishes of Grand-Auverné, Meilleraye de Bretagne and Moisdon la Riviere. Furthermore, the knight also had the right of hunting in the woods of the Prince "Henrie de Conde". Around 1835 the prefect "Jules de la Pilogerie" purchased the castle "Château de Launay" who was friends with many authors of his time: such as Balzac, Victor Hugo or Francois René de Chateaubriand.

The castle "Château de Launay" cordially invites you to relax as a guest in the historical noble court and its architectural originality.
