Chateau Fort de Pirou

UNE FORTERESSE IMPRENABLE ! Chef d’oeuvre d’architecture militaire médiévale, Pirou est l’un des plus anciens châteaux forts normands, parmi les mieux conservés grâce à la remarquable restauration initiée depuis 1966 par l’abbé Marcel LELÉGARD (1925-1994). Bâti au XIIe siècle sur un îlot artificiel entouré de trois douves et de cinq portes fortifiées, les portes défensives s’ouvrent sur un ensemble exceptionnel : la boulangerie, le pressoir, la chapelle, la salle des Plaids (avec la Tapisserie de Pirou), le vieux logis (salle des gardes, salle à manger, cuisines) et le chemin de ronde avec ses belles toitures de schiste. Laissez-vous enchanter par la fabuleuse légende des Oies de Pirou, immerger dans l’époque médiévale et découvrir neuf siècles d’histoire. Vos droits d’entrée contribuent à la préservation du château en soutenant la « Fondation Abbaye de La Lucerne d’Outremer », propriétaire, qui a en charge sa gestion, son entretien et sa restauration.

Chateau de Gratot

COVID-19 : Castle closed from March 15, 2020 The castle became the property of the d'Argouges Family in 1251, through marriage, up until 1777 when it became a marquisate. Built, restructured, and enlarged throughout the seven centuries of its history, Gratot has always been a castle with a little difference, periodically enriched by architectural changes. Its walls still talk of the times of Andaine, the fairy from the clear springs. The 19th Century saw a succession of owners who never kept up the property. Gradually, it fell into ruins and was invaded by ivy. The castle was definitively abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century. Since 1968, the Centre d'Animation du Château de Gratot manages this historical Landmark.
