Val-du-Mignon : plusieurs communes au patrimoine riche
Descripción
Usseau es un paso entre la llanura de Aunis, el Marais Poitevin y el mar. Deriva de Ussena, que significa montículo plantado de viñas. Adscrito al cantón de Mauzé-sur-le-Mignon, el municipio está formado por 5 aldeas conocidas localmente como "les écarts": Antigny, Le Grand Breuil, Olbreuse, Le Plénisseau y Ussolière. Durante la excavación de zanjas, la jardinería o el arado se han encontrado restos de varios yacimientos antiguos. Antiguo centro hugonote, Usseau es el lugar de nacimiento de Eléonore Desmier, nacida en 1639 en Olbreuse. A través de los matrimonios, sus descendientes están presentes en diecisiete dinastías europeas, de ahí su apodo de Abuela de Europa. En 2019, Usseau se une a Priaires y Thorigny-sur-le-Mignon para formar el nuevo municipio de Val-du-Mignon y se convierte en su cabecera

Saint-Pierre Church
Romanesque church of the 12th century, it presents several phases of reworking: sculpted capitals of the 14th century at the level of the chevet, a restoration of the bell tower in the 19th century for example. Interesting point: sarcophagi from the XIth-XIIIth century, funerary slabs and baptismal funds with double vats from the beginning of the XVIIth century.
Lavoir du Bourg
We find here a rather rich washhouse dating from 1900, having three stone walls, a tile roof, and an adjustable floor according to the height of the water arm.
Water mill of Antigny
This water mill dates from the 19th century. Others are in the surrounding villages like Ussolière.
Château d'Olbreuse
The building that we see now dates from the XIVth and especially the XVIIIth century. The building has indeed evolved over the centuries. The original architectural plan presented four towers that flanked three wings of the castle. Two towers are still preserved and one of them still has the marks of the defense architecture. It was here that Eleonore Desmier d'Olbreuse, nicknamed the grandmother of Europe (thanks to the various marriages of her descendants) was born. It is a private property, but it is possible to make guided tours during the summer.
Moulin Joyeux
This windmill dates from 1826. It can also be found in the village of Ussolière.
Pierre-Henri Mitard Cultural Center
Don't hesitate to visit the exhibition retracing the various archaeological discoveries from the site of Usseau (Merovingian cemetery) as well as the incredible history of the Olbreuse family. Pierre-Henri Mitard was a historian who was very involved in the historical research related to the discoveries of the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century. The site is open on Wednesday and Friday from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm and on Saturday from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm.
