Château de Vaucelles, Medieval castle in Vaucelles, Calvados, France

Château de Vaucelles, also called château de la Rivière, stands near the Drôme in Vaucelles, Calvados. The stone logis is plain, while the Louis XIII gateway pavilion carries pilasters, a tall roof and a dormer with a pediment. The entrance pavilion and its side annexes were listed as monuments historiques on 15 January 1929.

A manor stood on the site from the 14th century. Major works were carried out in the 17th century, and the keep was demolished in the 18th century. The entrance pavilion and its side annexes were listed as monuments historiques by decree of 15 January 1929.

The château is also known as château de la Rivière, a name tied to its position beside the Drôme. Its Louis XIII gateway, with pilasters, a tall roof and a dormer topped by a pediment, contrasts with the very plain main dwelling behind it.

The entrance pavilion and its side annexes have been listed as monuments historiques since 15 January 1929, so the protected parts are best seen from outside. The site lies near the Drôme on the edge of Vaucelles, in the Calvados department of Normandy. As a private residence, it is not open as a regular visitor attraction.

The entrance pavilion was listed as a monument historique on 15 January 1929, together with its lateral annexes. Its Louis XIII style is visible in the pilasters, the tall roof and the dormer topped by a pediment.
