The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le château de La Haye est un bel ensemble de bâtiments du 17e siècle, avec quelques éléments plus anciens, disposés autour d'une cour carrée entourée de douves. Il a été reconstruit, entre 1600 et 1620, sur l'emplacement de l'ancien château des 13e et 14e siècles, dont il a conservé certains éléments, comme la tour ronde et le portail (déplacé). L'ensemble est cependant inachevé : le château devait être beaucoup plus important et plus fortifié, mais le décès du constructeur Henri de la Haye Saint-Hilaire, en 1622, a interrompu les travaux. Le château est le berceau de la famille de la Haye-Saint-Hilaire, qui occupe le lieu depuis le 11e siècle (avec filiation certaine et directe depuis le 14e siècle).

History
The château de La Haye is a fine ensemble of 17th-century buildings, with some older elements, arranged around a square courtyard surrounded by moats. It was rebuilt, between 1600 and 1620, on the site of the former castle of the 13th and 14th centuries, of which it retained certain elements, such as the round tower and the gateway (relocated). The ensemble is nevertheless incomplete: the castle was meant to be much larger and more fortified, but the death of the builder Henri de la Haye Saint-Hilaire, in 1622, interrupted the work. The castle is the cradle of the family of la Haye-Saint-Hilaire, which has occupied the place since the 11th century (with a certain and direct line of descent since the 14th century).
