HISTORY The fortified Château de l'Ebaupinay played a strategic role during several conflicts, including the Hundred Years' War, the Wars of Religion, and the Vendée Wars. Mentioned for the first time in 1364, it then belonged to Robert de Vendel. In 1458, François de Vendel obtained permission to fortify his manor, thereby creating the current fortified château, an example of 15th-century defensive architecture. Over the centuries, it changed owners, passing through the hands of the Tusseau, Hillerin, Châtillon, and Crussol d'Uzès families. After the Revolution, it was sold as national property and acquired by the Corbière family in the 19th century. Listed as a Historic Monument since 1898, the château is a testament to its rich past.
