Château de Voré stands in Rémalard en Perche (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in the 18th century on the site of a former feudal holding, Voré castle impresses with its classical architecture and English-style park. In 1743, philosopher Claude Adrien Helvétius acquired the property and gave it its present character. The building is distinguished by its wrought-iron entrance gate adorned with the intertwined initials of the Helvétius and d'Andlau families, while the interior reveals wood-panelled rooms and a park unchanged by the centuries.

What to know

The castle is listed as a historical monument, protecting both its façades, roofs and entrance gate as well as its wood-panelled interior.
The ensemble comprises a central block flanked by projecting pavilions, a courtyard of honour enclosed by a gate, and outbuildings arranged around a second courtyard.
The English-style park has retained its period layout, as it existed in the time of its philosophical owner.
The intertwined initials HV and A engraved on the entrance gate commemorate the two families that shaped the history of the place.
