Alincourt Castle

Alincourt Castle is a fortified stone and brick residence located in a quiet village north of Paris. The building combines rubble masonry, dressed stone, and brick into a structure that reveals construction techniques from different eras through its walls.

Construction started in the late 1400s when regional lords built the fortress as a defensive stronghold. The structure received official historical monument status during the 20th century, recognizing its importance to the region's architectural heritage.

The architectural elements of Alincourt Castle represent traditional French castle design from the late 15th century through its structural composition.

The castle is situated in a rural setting and is best reached by traveling through the village of Parnes. It is advisable to check local information about access before visiting, as only certain areas or periods may be open to the public.

Katherine Chéreil de La Rivière owned the castle from 1976 until January 2009, when Alain Duménil acquired the property.
