pleasant and quiet place

Unfortunately, you cannot enter the castle grounds.

Château des ducs d'Harcourt: Ruins of a castle built in the 17th and 18th centuries in Thury-Harcourt. Unfortunately, the castle, praised as the "Versaille of Normandy", was destroyed in fighting in August 1944. Today only parts of the facade and two guard pavilions remain. The chateau is a good starting point for numerous hikes in the beautiful "Normandie Suisse".

This 17th and 18th century castle did not survive the Second World War. Today only part of the main facade and a chapel remain. If the private domain is closed to the public, the main buildings that remain standing can be seen from the public road.

The castle of Fresney-le-Puceux is a 16th century castle classified as a historic monument. The castle is surrounded by dry moats and a 120 hectare walled park. You can admire the architecture of the castle from the public road, but you cannot enter the private property. The Château de Fresney-le-Puceux is an ideal destination for history and nature lovers.

Since the 11th century, this place has always had a defensive position and structure. On the remains of the medieval structure, this castle was built from the 1600s and, as you see it today, from the 1850s. The buildings house stables, a wine press and a bakery, among other things. The castle park, which once covered hundreds of hectares, covers only 20 today and is a classified ornithological reserve.

Château Ganne is an old castle from the 11th century. Its remains are a delight for walkers. There is something so much more accessible to getting a sense of a place than when visiting some much grander intact castles. You can run your fingers over the walls, walk among the ruins, and explore.

At point 5, the easy hike crosses a farm. Private property. We had to turn around
