Craon is a town on the Oudon to the borders of Britain with a large area district called the Craonnais. It is the most important barony of Anjou and the owners of this land call themselves first barons. It was possessed in the eleventh century by a lord named Guérin on whom Geoffroy Martel Earl of Anjou, having confiscated it in 1050 gave it to Robert de Nevers, nephew of his wife. Renaud said the Burgundian had it then and his posterity took the nickname of Craon and kept this land until the death of Amaury IV lord of Craon. His sister Isabeau de Craon carried the barony of Craon into the house of La Trémoille. Charlotte-Catherine daughter of Louis de la Trémoille third of the name married in 1586 Louis de Bourbon prince de Condé to whom she bore the dowry a barony of Craon which then passed in 1720 in the house of Aloigny-Rochefort and which was sold to the d'Armaillé who had the current castle built between 1773 and 1776. The Marquis d'Armaillé when he inherits the castle of Craon, an old feodal house destroyed in part by the wars of religion and by Henri IV who wiped out part of it, decides to build a hunting relay, a veritable palace in the countryside worthy of its power and fortune. It is the architect Pomeyrol who realized the plans of the castle that we know today. Today we can still admire the traces of the feodal past of the castle of Craon in the vegetable garden.

The eighteenth-century building consists of a large rectangular one-storey building with two pavilions forming short wings. It is constructed of cut stone, of the tuffeau of the Saumur region, with the exception of the lateral walls of the fitted brick pavilions. The two facades oriented north-The east and southwest are pierced by slender windows with carved lintels and sills, topped by attics – a secondary floor that completes the upper part of the building – decorated with vases and statues. A pediment adorns the centre of each façade

The construction of the castle is based on the four elements represented by four sculptures arranged at the four corners of the house: water and fire (northeast façade), earth and air (southwest façade). The northeast façade opens onto the main courtyard. The decoration draws the attention of the visitor to the centre of the residence, on the entrance surmounted by a pediment bearing the arms of the Champagné and Langle families. At the ends of the housing body, two semi-circular constructions ensure the connection with the pavilions and break the stiffness of the architectural lines.

The southwest façade overlooks the garden, with curves and rounded corners in quarter circles. Three bays form a slight forebody of the house pierced by three large semicircular openings and surmounted by a pediment decorated with a mythological scene: Flore crowned with flowers by a small Amour carrying a mirror. This less austere facade appears more elegant and refined than the northeast facade with a decor of drapes, garlands and mascarons (sculpted female heads). Two pavilions frame the main residence. These lateral annexes are lower than the main body of the house and are placed at right angles on either side of the porch on the northeast façade while they appear in a recessed position on the southwest façade.

To the north-east of the castle, in the extension of the side pavilions and square the main courtyard are two quadrangular buildings flanked by four corner turrets. It is the chapel to the north and the carpentry pavilion to the east.

The two brick pavilions have tuffeau opening frames, which are reminders of the main building. An illustration of the Neoclassical style of the eighteenth century, the Château de Craon borrows its inspiration from the Parisian workshops with its proportions, its pure forms and its Greek ornamentation. “The building shows the pace at which the province is integrating into the general movement of art, commissioned from Paris”.

the interiors of the castle were modified in the 19th and 20th centuries. These renovations, carried out mainly in 1843 and then between 1897 and 1900, concerned in particular the dining room, the mezzanines of the pavilions and the entrance vestibule. They accompany the construction of a monumental staircase of honour. The space is thus redistributed around a vast entrance on which opens this marble staircase serving the first floor and having a natural lighting until then non-existent, which highlights a 17th century painting attributed to Rosa de Tivoli.

Marquis Alain de Champagné called on three renowned Parisian architects, MM. Coulomb, Chauvet and Visseaux, to carry out the modernization work of the castle at the end of the fourteenth century. Mr. Chauvet made a name for himself in the interior decoration of the Eiffel Tower for the 1889 World’s Fair. New standards of comfort are emerging at the Château de Craon with the installation of bathrooms, caloriferous (coal heating) and electricity. The castle of Craon was the first monument of Craon to benefit from the electricity that was manufactured by a large engine installed in the laundry of the castle. It is still visible today.

On the first floor, the distribution of the pieces through a long corridor (with portraits of all the kings of France) is always in order. Only an old bedroom was removed to open the staircase landing while another adjoining room was converted into lingerie. On the side of the servants' pavilion (northwest), the service staircase remains unchanged and serves the floor where a central corridor distributes the rooms among which an oval room. It is especially on the ground floor that the arrangement of the new staircase on the side of the hall of honour will upset the space and the interior life of the castle.

A smokehouse replaces the bedroom apartment on the ground floor. Another bedroom is transformed into an intermediate living room between the large living room and the small living room located next to the smoking room. Like the grand staircase, the dining room was renovated in the fashionable Louis XVI style at the end of the 19th century, which is perfectly in line with the castle’s construction date.

Columns on each wall, between the openings, are removed and replaced by painted wooden pilasters imitating marble and topped with Ionic capitals. Above the doors, panels are decorated with scenes mixing small Amours. Next to the dining room, the large living room has not undergone any renovation and consecrates the taste Louis XVI. The walls are decorated in the same way: consoles with floral decoration and panels depicting Italian landscapes, including a view of the Bay of Naples. Carved cornices surmount doors that open onto adjoining rooms.This 18th century decoration uses symmetrical layouts inspired by Greece to give the interior of the castle the appearance of ancient rooms.

Designed in a row, the rooms on the ground floor opening southwest onto the garden have retained their original arrangements and decorations, including remarkable carved panelling. Thus the small living room is decorated with carved panels of wreaths of flowers and mascarons. Garlands frame mirrors and portraits painted in ovals. In the music room, the decorations reproduce a Louis XIV style: with spears and quiver framing the mirror and alcove sow floral motifs and musical instruments. The alcove in the wall indicates that this living room is a former “bedroom apartment”.

In the 1920s, the owners continued the renovation of the castle in the style of Louis XVI. The library, the vestibule and the dining room are thus decorated and furnished to give the interior of the castle a unit of style that corresponds to its architecture.
