Château de Nacqueville, Renaissance castle in Urville-Nacqueville, France.
The granite stone castle features a main building with a round tower and a pavilion, displaying Renaissance windows alongside 19th-century dormers.
Construction began in 1510 by the Grimouville family, with subsequent modifications in the 17th century and restorations in the late 19th century.
The castle walls bear an inscription commemorating the English landing of August 7, 1758, while the interior contains a Renaissance fireplace with carved motifs.
The 35-hectare park opens to visitors throughout the year, while the castle interior is accessible only during Heritage Days under owner supervision.
During World War II, German troops occupied the castle, followed by American headquarters who held thousands of prisoners in the park in 1945.
