Château d'Audrieu stands in Audrieu (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Audrieu castle stands in the Calvados countryside, close to the village's Notre-Dame church. Rebuilt in the early 18th century by the Séran family on medieval foundations, it retains its classical main building flanked by outbuildings and a courtyard of honour that organises the whole property. The highlight is the upstairs grand salon, with its rocaille panelling, reached by two side staircases serving the reception rooms. Now run as a hotel, the building has kept the restrained character its builders intended.
