Château du Plessis-Bouquelon stands in Bouquelon (Eure), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The Château du Plessis-Bouquelon, in the Eure department, stands on an estate combining a medieval entrance pavilion, a main building enlarged in the 18th century, and a neo-Gothic funerary chapel from the 19th century. The complex bears witness to several centuries of successive changes, from a 14th-15th century pavilion to additions commissioned by the Comte d'Osmoy in 1844. The Saint-Eustache chapel, documented since the 15th century, still holds wall paintings by the painter Symon Gredovin depicting scenes from the Old Testament and the Last Judgment. The estate also includes a dovecote and a wood laid out along an east-west perspective.
