In the heart of the Risle valley, located on a spur dominating the town centre, the Medieval Château of Montfort-sur-Risle, 11th – 12th centuries, will reveal all the secrets of Ducal Normandy to you, while Hugues de Montfort, Constable of Normandy , accompanied William the Conqueror in his conquest of England in 1066. The strategic position of the fortress, listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments, offers an exceptional panoramic view of the valley. Located near the Montfort national forest, the complex covers 4.6 hectares and is the subject of a conservation and enhancement program.
