About
The Château de Serrant stands in Saint-Georges-sur-Loire, in the Maine-et-Loire department of western France, a short distance from the river that gives the town its name. It is a Renaissance château, and it is often called Serrant Castle in English-language guides.
What to see
The château is known for its architecture, which reflects the work of important French architects, and for its library. The library houses precious manuscripts, so a visit here suits anyone curious about books and the history of their keeping as much as about stone and rooms.
Who the visit suits
- Visitors interested in Renaissance architecture in the Loire region
- Readers and lovers of old manuscripts and rare books
- Travellers who want a château visit away from the largest crowds
Because the château is a historic building with a notable collection, it rewards unhurried attention. Allow time to look at the architecture in detail and at the library rather than moving quickly through.
