Ra150 Le Nessay
Château du Nessay is built on the site of a castle that dates back to the twelfth century but it remains a chapel. It was a guard during the Revolution and a prison. This building within the grounds which where the gallows of Justice, was destroyed in the mid seventeenth century, the ancient lords being deprived of their prerogatives, in 1656, in favour of the Seigneurie de Pontbriand. The current castle was built in 1886 by Count Maurice de Villebresme. (Wikipedia)
