The Château de Maisontiers is a French castle located in Maisontiers, in the department of Deux-Sèvres, in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It is protected as a monument historique. The castle is situated to the east of the village of Maisontiers, situated between a departmental road and the la Taconnière stream.
At the end of the 15th century, Claude de Montjehan purchased the buildings and modified them to build the current castle. She sold the property on May 21, 1544, to Guyonne Bernard, wife of René de Tusseau. Since 1544, except for a few years during the French Revolution, the castle has remained the property of different families, all related to the Tusseau family.
The west wing, which was remodeled by Claude de Montjehan, is the oldest part of the structure. The most recent section, the stable, dates from the 19th century. The Château de Maisontiers is notable for its moats, which reach 110 meters long and 40 meters wide to the northeast.
