Photos of Château de Sèvremont
A land of keeps: the history around the Château de Sèvremont
- 1090 – A charter of 28 October names David as lord of La Flocellière, probably the creator of the fief, whose château now overlooks the centre of Sèvremont.
- 12th century – The keep of Châteaumur, in the Niort style, is built on a granite promontory; it belongs to the same family of keeps as those of Pouzauges and Tiffauges.
- 12th–13th centuries – The viscounts of Thouars build the fortress of Pouzauges; in the 13th century the Château de la Flocellière receives its almost pentagonal plan, four corner towers and a round keep.
- 1372 – By tradition, Du Guesclin dismantles the fortress of Pouzauges.
- 1597 – During the Wars of Religion the Château de la Flocellière is besieged.
- 1818 – A plumb line is hung in the church tower of Saint-Michel-Mont-Mercure, the highest point of the Vendée, for geodetic measurements.
- 1979 – The keep of Châteaumur is listed as a historic monument.
- 1989 – Puy du Fou is founded at Les Épesses, about ten kilometres away.
- 2016 – The communes of Les Châtelliers-Châteaumur, La Flocellière, La Pommeraie-sur-Sèvre and Saint-Michel-Mont-Mercure merge to form the new commune of Sèvremont (1 January).
The Expedia listing does not trace the exact history of the house itself; the Sèvremont area, however, is one of the richest in feudal remains in the Vendée. Wikipedia lists in the commune the church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption at Les Châtelliers, the keep of Châteaumur, the Château de la Bonnelière, the Château de la Flocellière, the Château des Echardières, the chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette and the Château du Deffend.
The Château de la Flocellière, about 300 m away, illustrates this history well: a ruined medieval fortress, apart from its keep, stands next to a 17th-century château. To stay here is to stay in a bocage landscape where every hill once had its stronghold.
