Château de Vascœuil

The château features an octagonal tower from the 12th century alongside buildings from the 14th and 16th centuries within a three-hectare French garden.

In 1080, Gilbert de Vascœuil owned the estate, which remained part of the Duchy of Longueville until 1694 when it became royal property.

The castle houses a regional art center established in 1970, displaying works by numerous artists including Braque, Dali, and Vasarely throughout its premises.

Visitors can explore the museum, the French gardens, and a collection of fifty original sculptures displayed across the property throughout spring, summer, and fall.

French historian Jules Michelet used one of the castle towers as his study from 1843 to 1860, now reconstructed in a 17th-century barn museum.
