medieval castle of monfort sur risle

A village where we have the impression of going back in time. Add to this the tranquility that exudes from this site, so many reasons to stop there.

The priory is located in the immediate vicinity of the village of Saint-Philbert-sur-Risle, not far from the Risle river. The wheel is visible by taking the path on the side.

Superb mountain bike and gravel trails around the estate and a superb view of the Risle valley from this feudal hill

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.

A flat and marshy valley, especially in winter, the Risle valley is bordered by forests on both sides. The ponds dug in the 20th century alternate with the wet meadows of the ancestral Normandy bocage.

Founded in the 11th century by Robert de Montfort, the site was first erected as a collegiate church before becoming a priory in the 12th century. All his rights were then exercised by the Abbey of Bec and the vicar of Saint-Philbert served the chapel adjoining the parish church. Today, the Priory is communal property and only vestiges of the surrounding walls remain with a beautiful portal, a dovecote-bread oven and a perfectly restored Norman-style building.
