Les Essarts, situated 20km northwest of the Domaine du Revêtison, has a significant feudal past. A feudal motte, a 12th century robust square keep called the Sarrazine tower which gave defenders a good view over the surrounding countryside. A 15th century fortress gateway all bear witness to the importance of this barony that dates back to the Middle Ages. It is said that this now-crumbling castle was visited by Henry IV in 1588. The logis / main house was destroyed during the Vendée wars.
