Château de Fréfossé

Château de Fréfossé, 18th-century château in Le Tilleul, France.

Château de Fréfossé is a three-story rectangular building with a hipped roof and dormer windows set within extensive wooded grounds. The structure displays features typical of regional architecture from its period of construction.

An original fortification was built between 1370 and 1380 as a defensive position before the current structure was constructed in 1771. This new château replaced the earlier military stronghold and marked a shift in the site's purpose.

The name reflects the noble family whose legacy shaped the property through generations. Today, the building stands as a reminder of aristocratic presence in this rural region.

The property has been privately owned since 1997 and is not open to visitors without special advance permission. Those interested in viewing it must contact the owner beforehand to arrange any access.

During World War II, the property served first as a German military base and later housed Allied forces during the liberation campaign. This dual role makes it a notable witness to the conflict's impact on the Norman countryside.
