Château du Bosc-Roger stands in Le Plessis-Hébert (Eure), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 16th century, fourth quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Bosc-Roger is a seigneurial complex established since the 12th century in Normandy, where traces remain of a former lower courtyard and an early 16th-century timber-framed manor. Beyond this medieval core, the Marquis de Monthiers built a neoclassical brick and stone château between 1786 and 1789, whose interior preserves period panelling, fireplaces and alcoves. The site offers a rare archaeological layering: three centuries of aristocratic architecture on the same location, from feudal times through the end of the Old Regime.
What to know
- The complex, listed as a historic monument, includes the neoclassical château, the old seigneurial site with its 16th-century manor, the former church now used as an agricultural building, the dovecote and boundary walls.
- The buildings of the ancient core suffered from neglect in the 1990s and are not open to visitors; only the 18th-century château offers interior access with its preserved decorations.
- No opening hours or admission fee are currently published; contact the town hall of Le Plessis-Hébert before visiting.
