This ancient fortified castle dominates the Huisne Valley at 360° with its imposing keep. The building, with its troubled history, has undergone numerous modifications in its architecture and functions. A visit is essential to understand the complexity of its history and to observe the architectural evolutions.

Overlooking the Huisne Valley, an old 10th-century fort gave way in the 11th century to a powerful rectangular keep bordered by a deep moat from which a circular wall rises, reinforced by seven round towers, two of which guard the entrance. The castle was invaded during the Hundred Years' War, and in 1428 the keep was burned down by the Englishman Salisbury. During the Renaissance, the castle underwent architectural changes: the entrance towers were raised and the main building transformed. Established as a duchy-peerage, the castle returned to Sully in 1624, who remodeled a small Louis XIII-style dwelling. Transformed into a prison during the Revolution, the castle began its renaissance in 1843. Owned by the town since 1950, it is listed as a historic monument.

The Museum of the History of Perche takes place on the second floor of the Renaissance main building of the castle of the Counts of Perche. Dedicated to the history of the castle, the city of Nogent-le-Rotrou and Le Perche, it invites you on a journey through time, from the Middle Ages to the French Revolution.
