Château du Parc-Soubise

The Château du Parc-Soubise near Mouchamps in Pays de la Loire, France.

[2] The château, located between a lake and a forest, is 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) southeast of Vendrennes off of Mouchamps road.

[2] The château had belonged to the Rohan-Soubise family,[1] such as when it was a residence of René II, Viscount of Rohan and his wife Catherine de Parthenay, key leaders of the religious, political, and cultural circles during the French Wars of Religion (1562 to 1598).

[1][5] Blain was razed about the time of the Siege of La Rochelle[4] and when Parthenay and her daughter Anne were imprisoned and released after four months in captivity.

[6] An architect restored the mansion in 1780, but before anyone could reside in the building it was set on fire by the infernal columns (War in the Vendée (1793 to 1796) of the French Revolution).
