Château de Cernières stands in Saint-Pierre-de-Cernières (Eure), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Château de Cernières began as a seventeenth-century construction over medieval foundations, evolving through successive enlargements into an elegant country seat. Lateral wings were added in the eighteenth century, followed by a major redesign from 1891 to 1900 under architect Delarue, who introduced timber-framed galleries, staircase towers, a pavilion extension, and revised facades. The ensemble expresses both Norman and Louis XIII aesthetics. The landscape was designed by Georges Aumont.

What to know

The château has been listed as a historical monument since 2005 and encompasses not only the main building but also its outbuildings, a colombier, and the original landscape design.
The major architectural phases span three centuries: the initial construction in the seventeenth, the addition of lateral wings in the eighteenth, and a comprehensive remodelling from 1891 to 1900 that reshaped the courtyard façade and raised the rooflines.
The château draws from both Norman and Louis XIII architectural traditions, reflecting the aesthetic evolution that characterizes this region.
