The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: limite 16th century 17th century, second quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built between the late 16th and early 17th centuries, Soquence castle occupies a sloping site overlooking the Seine. The estate comprises a country residence constructed for a Rouen merchant after the destruction of the medieval castle in 1589, organised in a U-shape around terraces descending toward the river. In the 19th century, the site was enriched with a manor in neo-Renaissance style designed by architect Dusillon in 1840. The ensemble extends into a wooded park.
