# Château du Fontenil

Saint-Sulpice-sur-Risle, Orne, Normandie

Château du Fontenil stands in Saint-Sulpice-sur-Risle (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At Saint-Sulpice-sur-Risle, near L'Aigle, the Fontenil château shows an old wing flanked by a round tower and a polygonal stair tower, where pink brick set with black diamond patterns reflects Norman building traditions of the 16th century. The chapel, thought to date from the 15th century, is the oldest surviving part of the estate, alongside a flint-built press house. The grounds are also known as the place where the first fragment of the meteorite that fell over L'Aigle in 1803 was found.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
