Château d'Harcourt

To make a day of it

Château d'Harcourt stands in Harcourt (Eure), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 13th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 4, 2026.

Set on its feudal mound above the Neubourg countryside, Harcourt castle preserves a remarkably intact medieval structure, from the twelfth-century square keep to the thirteenth-century wall with its twelve towers. The site combines a Norman stronghold tied to one of the duchy's oldest noble families with one of France's oldest arboretums, planted in the early nineteenth century. Visitors can see both the defensive remains and traces of a seventeenth-century refurbishment, such as the monumental stone and wrought-iron staircase.
