Historic heritage
THE CHÂTEAU DE HUISSEAU-SUR-MAUVES
Initially a small wooden fort, the Château d’Huisseau-sur-Mauves was replaced by a fortified castle around the 10th century, around which the inhabitants grouped, thus forming the embryo of the current village.
The Huisseau-sur-Mauves Seigeury was entitled to exercise high, medium and low justice. The Huisseau land has never left the line of its founders since 1160.

THE MAUVES
