Maire, Netherlands
Maire (also Meere or Mare) is a former village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It was located northwest of the village of Rilland. The church of Maire was mentioned in 1284. The village suffered from a number of floods, and on 5 November 1530, it drowned completely. When it was flooded again on 2 November 1532, it was abandoned completely. A small part of the area was reclaimed from the sea in 1694, but the village was never rebuilt. Maire was a separate municipality until 1816, when it was merged with Rilland.Ad van der Meer and Onno Boonstra, "Repertorium van Nederlandse gemeenten", KNAW, 2006.

Château Saint-Maire
Château Saint-Maire (Saint-Maire Castle) is a castle in Lausanne, Switzerland, that serves as the seat of the cantonal government, the Council of State of Vaud. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance. History The château was built from 1397 to 1425 by the Bishops of Lausanne to serve as their fortified residence. Begun under Guillaume of Menthonay, it was completed under his successor, Guillaume of Challant, and named after Saint Marius, the first Bishop of Lausanne. It served as the bishop's residence until 1536, when Bern captured Lausanne and secularized the bishopric (the bishop, Sébastien of Montfalcon, escaped through a hidden stairwell). The Bernese installed a bailiff in the château and used it as an armory. Upon the creation of the canton of Vaud in 1803, it became seat of the cantonal government, a role it has retained. Architecture The château was built as a single massive rectangular block, as was common at the time, with brick for the upp ...

Mairé-Levescaultt is a commune in the Deux-Sèvres department in western France. (Not to be confused with Mairé, in the same general area).
