Description


Le château du Fief-Milon est un château situé sur la commune de Le Boupère, dans le canton de Chantonnay en Vendée. Construit pour une partie au xive siècle, le château-fort faisait partie du système de défense de Pouzauges. Sa position élevée lui donnait le rôle d'une tour de guet et offrait un panorama exceptionnel sur les monts Gâtine qui dominent le Haut Bocage vendéen, Saint-Michel-Mont-Mercure et Le Boupère. Cette position élevée s’explique par sa fonction première : défendre Pouzauges contre les Anglais pendant la guerre de Cent Ans. La charpente des communs, à poinçons sculptés et contrefiches courbes, est datée entre 1585 et 1610. Château du Fief-Milon is a castle located in the commune of Le Boupère, in the canton of Chantonnay in the Vendée. Built partly in the 14th century, the castle was part of the Pouzauges defence system. Its elevated position gave it the role of a watchtower and offered an exceptional panoramic view of the Gâtine mountains that dominate the Haut Bocage in the Vendée, Saint-Michel-Mont-Mercure and Le Boupère. This high position is explained by its primary function: to defend Pouzauges against the English during the Hundred Years' War. The structure of the outbuildings, with sculpted punches and curved struts, is dated between 1585 and 1610.
