Château de la Perrière
Château de la Perrière, Castle in Avrillé, France
Château de la Perrière is a castle in Avrillé with two wings, one of which displays the coat of arms of the Goddes de Varennes family facing the central courtyard. The property also functions as an 18-hole golf course and venue with on-site dining facilities for events.
The castle originated from a construction project by Charles-François Goddes de Varennes, which his son François later completed in 1699. This expansion shaped the structure that remains visible today.
The castle now serves as a venue for business gatherings and personal celebrations, where seminars and weddings take place within a historic setting. The rooms have become a popular location for hosting events throughout the region.
Visitors should know that the grounds include both the historic buildings and a golf course, and access may be limited to certain times or for event occasions. It's advisable to check visiting conditions beforehand, as the property is primarily oriented toward hosting events.
The estate was purchased in 2018 by Zaya Younan, an American billionaire and owner of a luxury hotel group. This change in ownership brought contemporary management practices to a historic monument.

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.
