The gardener’s house of Le Plessis-Bochard
At Saint-Pierre-des-Nids in the Mayenne, the sixteenth-century chapel of Le Plessis-Bochard was turned into a gardener’s house — a small sign that the eighteenth-century house, uninhabited since 1880, once kept a garden worth a gardener.
From the source

It is protected as a monument historique at the second level (inscrit). Details are drawn from the Base Mérimée of the French Ministry of Culture.
Editorial reading
The record notes an eighteenth-century rebuilding of the house that kept one fourteenth-century tower, interior decoration of the early nineteenth century, and a chapel of the sixteenth century transformed into the gardener’s dwelling. House, chapel and outbuildings with stable and bakehouse were listed in 1996. The garden itself is not described.
