# Château de Canchy

Canchy, Calvados, Normandie

Château de Canchy stands in Canchy (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Canchy consists today of a single surviving wing of a large 16th-century fortified residence, roughly a hundred metres long, flanked by two square corner towers. The facade still shows a central pavilion topped with machicolations and pierced by a large and a small doorway, remnants of a stronghold that once guarded access to the Esque valley. Slit openings can still be seen in the surviving stairways, once used to defend the passage.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
