About
The Château de Montpipeau was a French château located in what is now the commune of Huisseau-sur-Mauves in the département of Loiret. It is not known when it was constructed, but it is first mentioned in the 12th-century. A new design was made for Louis de Rochechouart by the French architect François Le Vau around 1660, but it is not known whether his design was implemented. The château and its land was originally a seigneurie but was elevated to a marquisat in 1766, four years after it was purchased by François Pierre du Cluzel. The château was mostly destroyed during the French Revolution.
