Château de Brissac is a noble residence in the commune of Brissac Loire Aubance in the department of Maine-et-Loire. The property has long been owned by the Cossé family and is listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture, marking its significance in regional heritage. Visual and archival records show the château figured in 19th-century popular imagery (an 1885 Imagerie d'Épinal estampe), and it continues to appear in contemporary media and events — production credits thank the château for hosting or facilitating filming. In popular culture and regional ghost lore the château is associated with an apparition described as a "ghostly lady in a green dress." This claim appears in modern podcast summaries and popular-media accounts but is not accompanied in the supplied sources by primary eyewitness testimony, dates, investigative reports, or historical identification of the apparition. The supplied material does not record other specific paranormal phenomena, investigative theories, or detailed incident reports. Scholarly or archival corroboration for the haunting claim is absent from the provided notes; the attribution here reflects its presence in folklore and popular media rather than verified historical documentation.
