From architectural heritage…
Baugé-en-Anjou invites you to discover the many facets of its heritage. Strolling around the town of Baugé, once the seat of five jurisdictions, you’ll encounter the monuments of this still-charming little district: its 15th century castle, the Hôtel-Dieu and its 17th century apothecary, the Sub-Prefecture headquarters, the courthouse built during the Second French Empire, the True Cross of Anjou, the pedestrian mall and its music gazebo… Baugé-en-Anjou is also a territory of great diversity where the communes have surprises, mystery and enchantment in store for you. Take off from one village to the next in pursuit of the astonishing twisted spires, dolmens and standing stones, and admire the manor houses or castles in the Baugé countryside on the way.
