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

Located along the banks of the Andelle River, the Levavasseur spinning mill, nicknamed the "industrial cathedral," is a 19th-century factory in the neo-Gothic style. It is the subject of a conservation project to reveal its unique history and offer the public a place for walking, contemplation, and interpretation.

The Château de Bonnemare is a 16th century castle which presents a rare and harmonious ensemble including a round chapel, a kitchen with a rotisserie designed by Leonardo da Vinci, a farm with a forge and a cider house. You can discover the 22 hectare park which surrounds the castle and admire the poplar avenue, the orchard and the pond. You can also stay in one of the guest rooms or gîtes which offer a charming and authentic experience of French heritage.

Church of Acquigny

A jewel of industrial heritage and Gothic architecture, the Filature Levavasseur, a former cotton mill, is now a ruin. This impressive building was built in 1857 by Baron Charles Levavasseur, a wealthy industrialist and shipowner who imported his own cotton from America. The factory was designed in the neo-Gothic style, with four octagonal towers reaching 38 meters in height. It employed up to 300 workers and produced quality fabrics until 1874, when a fire destroyed it. The mill has never been rebuilt, but it remains a remarkable site in the Andelle valley. You can admire the mill from the outside or explore its interior with caution.

The Château de Radepont is a superb castle rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century in a neo-Louis XIII style. It is located near the Seine. The castle has a beautiful facade with brick and stone decorations, a slate roof and a large water wheel. You'll spot it when the trees break and the house comes into view from the main road.

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 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”.
