Château de Frazé, Medieval castle in Frazé, France.
The Saint-François tower exhibits a gray stone basement and white stone rows, with a cordelière encircling the middle section of the structure.
The original castle was destroyed during the Hundred Years' War and reconstructed in the late 15th century, with additional Renaissance buildings added in the 16th century.
The castle grounds include French gardens and architectural elements from different periods, representing the evolution of construction methods from the 15th to 18th centuries.
The gardens require advance reservations for visits, and the entrance gates connect directly to the village square near Notre-Dame Church.
The castle property contained its own tile factory, which produced materials for the castle construction and many buildings throughout the village.

The Perche region preserves an architectural heritage spanning from the Middle Ages to the classical period. Castles, churches, and abbeys in this Normandy area showcase the evolution of construction techniques and artistic styles from the 11th to the 18th century, influenced by Norman and Ligurian traditions. Medieval fortifications such as the Château de Bellême and Château de Senonches demonstrate the strategic role of this territory between the Duchy of Normandy and the kingdom of France. Religious buildings, including the Church of Saint-Céneri-le-Gérei with its Romanesque murals and the Notre-Dame of Mont Harou with its fortified tower, reflect the importance of monastic and parish life. Lords’ residences like Château de Montimer and Château de Frazé offer insights into residential architecture in Perche. The Perche Museum in Bellême and the Royal Military College Museum in Thiron-Gardais complete this exploration with collections related to regional history and military heritage.
