Château de Canchy, Heritage castle in Canchy, France.

The Château de Canchy features square towers and extends along a 100-meter line of buildings near the Esque Valley in Calvados.

The medieval fortress of Canchy formed a strategic lock point with Château de Colombières, protected by water-filled moats during the Middle Ages.

The castle underwent transformations from a defensive structure to a residence under Louis de Sainte Marie, integrating French garden designs across 5 hectares.

The castle remains under private ownership by the du Moustier de Canchy family since 1650 and requires advance arrangements for visits.

During the French Revolution, the Broglie family escaped, leading to the castle's sale as national property and subsequent partial dismantling in 1799.
