Château d'Alluyes stands in Alluyes (Eure-et-Loir), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 13th century, 15th century, 16th century). No visits are on record for this building.

Alluyes Castle held a dominant position in medieval Perche history, as its lordship governed the region's five baronies. Its keep dates to the 12th century. The site retains evidence of its defensive system, including a fortified gateway flanked by towers, along with the Chapel of Saint-Nicolas, built between these structures and modified over the centuries.

What to know

The site combines a Romanesque keep, a fortified gateway with two towers, and a medieval chapel that underwent several transformations from the 12th century onward.
Saint-Nicolas Chapel was partially reconfigured, notably its vault rebuilt and decorated between the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
The complex is registered as historical monuments: the keep since 1925, the entrance gateway and chapel since 1980.
