Magnificent view of the Château d'Acquigny (whose garden can be visited) and the Eure valley

Mainly Gothic church with some Romanesque elements.

Two magnificent properties between the arms of the Iton

Located on the banks of the Iton, the castle was built in 1775, in the neoclassical style characteristic of this period. The cut stone facades have retained their monumentality (basement, noble floors and attic), reinforced by the austerity of the few decorative elements (pediment, cornices). The facades and roofs of the four buildings on the farm were listed in the MH in 1977, the castle, the so-called chalet house, the stables and sheds as well as the cellar located in the commune of Acquigny were listed in 1994 in the MH.

Church of Acquigny

This castle is ideally placed at the confluence of the Eure and the Iton rivers. This stream was diverted from its bed to feed the moats of this beautiful building. It can be admired from the park gate.

The Sainte-Cécile church is located in Acquigny, in the Eure. Built in the 16th century, it was remodeled in the 18th century. It is classified as a historical monument.

The Château d'Acquigny was built at the request of Anne de Laval (cousin of the King of France Henri II and Dame-in-waiting to Queen Catherine de Medici), from 1557 with the criterion of inspiring the love that wore to her late husband, Louis de Silly. An original residence was then built: a plan combining the four initials of the couple (ALLS), for a facade of honor with decorative elements of great refinement, releasing all the love that the countess had for her husband. We then understand better why the park surrounding this elegant castle is also nicknamed “a love of garden”.
