Château de Farcheville stands in Bouville (Essonne), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 15th century, 16th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Bouville, in the Essonne, the Château de Farcheville stands behind a fortified rectangular enclosure dating from the 13th century, built when Philippe le Bel reigned for one of his royal chamberlains. The surrounding moat still holds water, and a crenellated wall walk links corner towers that still trace the original rectangular layout clearly. Inside, a medieval chapel and a residential building survive, altered over later centuries, while the remaining structures date from the 17th century. The estate is not set up for casual sightseeing in the usual sense: today it operates as a venue for weddings and private events.

What to know

  • The château is a listed historic monument, with separate protections covering the enclosure, the chapel, the barn and several outbuildings.
  • There is no public sightseeing visit open to casual visitors, as the estate is reserved for weddings, seminars and private rentals.
  • The moat surrounding the enclosure still holds water, making the exterior of the château particularly striking to photograph.
  • The surrounding park covers around two hundred hectares, suitable for walking.
  • Access is only possible on request, by email or phone, with no online booking.
