Château de Belbeuf

Château de Belbeuf is an 18th century manor house in Normandy featuring balustraded terraces and stone walls that frame its structure. Inside, a grand staircase with ornate wrought-iron railings demonstrates the refined craftsmanship typical of this period.

A magistrate in the Normandy Parliament commissioned this manor between 1764 and 1780 as a family residence. The roof collapsed in 1956, which led to significant structural changes in the following years.

The building displays architectural elements from the late 18th century and represents the residence style of French parliamentary nobility.

The estate sits in a rural area of Normandy and is visible from nearby roads, though public access is restricted. Visitors should check in advance whether tours or viewings are available, as it remains a private property.

After the original roof collapsed in 1956, an unusual terrace structure was built that now spans across the two main levels of the building. This adaptive solution became a defining feature of how the house looks today.
