The château de Cahaignes stands in Vexin-sur-Epte, in the Eure department, surrounded by a park that has been protected since the mid-20th century. Built in the 17th century from cut stone and limestone, it belonged for generations to the Daniel de Boisdenemetz family and later the Cornulier family, before falling into long neglect. Once a well-known spot for urban explorers under the nickname château des singes, the estate has been under major restoration work since 2022, led by its new owner.
