CHATEAUBRIANT, a town of western France, capital of an arrondissement in
the department of Loire-Inferieure, on the left bank of the Chere, 40 m.
N.N.E. of Nantes by rail. Pop. (1906) 5969. Chateaubriant takes its name
from a castle founded in the 11th century by Brient, count of
Penthievre, remains of which, consisting of a square donjon and four
towers, still exist. Adjoining it is another castle, built in the first
half of the 16th century by Jean de Laval, and famous in history as the
residence of Francoise de Foix, mistress of Francis I. Of this the most
beautiful feature is the colonnade running at right angles to the main
building, and connecting it with a graceful pavilion. It is occupied by
a small museum and some of the public offices. There is also an
interesting Romanesque church dedicated to St Jean de Bere.
Chateaubriant is the seat of a subprefect and has a tribunal of first
instance. It is an important centre on the Ouest-Etat railway, and has
trade in agricultural products. The manufacture of leather, agricultural
implements and preserved angelica are carried on. In 1551 Henry II.
signed an edict against the reformed religion at Chateaubriant.
