The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Château-Gontier possède environ une quarantaine d'hôtels du 16e au 18e siècles. La famille qui a donné son nom au bâtiment possédait en 1662 deux maisons. Le plan de l'édifice est un rectangle cantonné de deux tours, l'une en angle au pignon nord, l'autre en angle sud-est. Ces deux tours sont en liaison avec les maçonneries du corps de logis. A l'ouest, un bâtiment de plan rectangulaire abrite un escalier à deux rampes. L'édifice a conservé toute sa charpente et les petites lucarnes du 16e siècle. Les menuiseries intérieures (du 17e siècle) sont également conservées ainsi que les vitraux en plomb d'origine. Dans la disposition ancienne, chaque niveau, desservi par l'escalier, correspondait à un corps de logis. Il s'agit là d'un exemple typique de l'urbanisme post-médiéval.

History
Château-Gontier possesses approximately forty hotels from the 16th to the 18th centuries. The family which gave its name to the building owned two houses in 1662. The plan of the building is a rectangle flanked by two towers, one at the angle of the northern gable, the other at the south-east angle. These two towers are connected with the masonry of the main dwelling. To the west, a rectangular building houses a staircase with two flights. The building has retained all its roof structure and the small 16th-century dormers. The interior joinery (from the 17th century) is also preserved as well as the lead glazing of original design. In the former arrangement, each level, served by the staircase, corresponded to a main dwelling. This is a typical example of post-medieval urbanism.
