De Lassay in direction of Housseau, the castle of Bois Thibault is located at approximately a kilometer of the commune on the roads of Geneslay and Seven - Forging mills. Still today, the Bois-Thibault castle exposes with pride its picturesque and romantic ruins. Built on an old feudal castle (abandoned during the 100 year old war), it was according to the Angot Abbot "rebuilt in all or partly (1467) with similar turns with drain-holes and arbalétrières with those of Lassay"; consequently it was one of most considerable of the baronnie of Mayenne. Transmitted by blood ties or by marriage, it was inhabited until in 1830, date from which only the corbels and the pigeons made him an assiduous court.
