Château de Martainville, Renaissance castle and museum in Martainville-Épreville, France.

The Château de Martainville stands as a symmetrical structure with four corner towers, surrounded by a moat and featuring a central residence building.

Jacques Le Pelletier, a wealthy merchant from Rouen, commissioned the construction of this castle between 1485 and 1495 as his countryside residence.

The Museum of Norman Arts and Traditions inside the castle displays 15,000 objects representing daily life in Upper Normandy from the 15th to 19th centuries.

The castle museum organizes regular guided tours, workshops for children, and seasonal events focused on regional traditions throughout the year.

A preserved 15th-century dovecote on the grounds indicates the original extent of the estate and demonstrates the social status of its first owner.
