Château de Crasville-la-Rocquefort stands in Crasville-la-Rocquefort (Seine-Maritime), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In the countryside of Seine-Maritime, the château de Crasville-la-Rocquefort displays façades of granite and brick, rebuilt in the early seventeenth century after the devastation of the Wars of Religion. The property remains privately owned, but its Henri IV-Louis XIII style architecture can be seen from the grounds, along with the two entrance pavilions and the sixteenth-century dovecote that complete the estate. The park still holds traces of a moated medieval mound, a remnant of an earlier castle on the site.
