Château de Mirville

The castle features black flint, brick, and limestone walls surrounded by water-filled moats, accessed through a monumental gateway and bridge.

The Mirville fief dates back to 1080, when Adam de Mirville fortified the site during the conflict between Henri Beauclerc and Robert Courteheuse.

The castle chapel transformed into the parish church in the 17th century, demonstrating the connection between nobility and local religious life.

The castle remains a private property owned by the Navacelle family, with exterior visits permitted under specific conditions throughout the year.

Archaeological excavations between 1979 and 1981 revealed eight distinct levels of wooden structures from the 11th century around the original earthworks.
