Château de Herces stands in Berchères-sur-Vesgre (Eure-et-Loir), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

At Berchères-sur-Vesgre, in Eure-et-Loir, the château de Herces stands out for its four façades, each composed in a distinct architectural style, the result of a single building campaign dated to the third quarter of the 18th century. Architect Jacques-Denis Antoine, who also designed the Hôtel des Monnaies in Paris, gave the building a triangular pediment on one side, a domed square pavilion fronted by a portico on another, and a recessed façade flanked by projecting wings on a third. The interiors retain their original layout, panelling and decoration, while the farm buildings, including a vaulted dairy topped by a dovecote, reflect the scale of the former estate.

What to know

The château and its outbuildings are listed historic monuments, the château itself registered since 1950 and the dairy-dovecote building fully classified since 1955.
The site now operates as a venue for corporate seminars and events, which strongly limits general public access.
The former gardens were largely altered in the 19th century; only the dry moat at the entrance and a stone bossed bridge remain.
No visiting hours or admission fees are published, as the property's current use is not that of a monument open to individual visitors.
