Château de Tréprel stands in Tréprel (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Built around 1780 by architect Nicolas Gondouin, Tréprel Castle exemplifies the adoption of neoclassical style in late eighteenth-century Normandy. The main facade features brick masonry, while the rear elevation is constructed in stone. The central residence is flanked by corner pavilions, each topped on the north side with small turrets crowned by pyramidal roofs, creating a harmonious and well-preserved composition.
