Château de la Rivière-Bourdet, Historical castle in Quevillon, France.
The castle stands on the banks of the Seine River, featuring grand facades and a notable dovecote dating from 1668 in the Normandy region.
The first structure, built by Étienne Bourdet in the 13th century, was destroyed in 1570 and reconstructed in the 1620s by Charles II Maignart de Bernières.
French writer Voltaire resided at the castle in 1723, where he composed sections of his literary works Hérode et Mariamne and Henriade.
While the castle maintains private ownership status since 2011, the exterior facades and roofing hold protected monument status through a 1934 designation.
During World War II, the castle served as a shelter for 200 children from Le Havre, Dieppe, and Rouen before sustaining damage from a 1944 bombardment.
