Château Saint-Hilaire stands in Louviers (Eure), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: milieu 19th century, first quarter of the 20th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Saint-Hilaire castle in Louviers stands on the site of a former seigneurial manor from the 15th century. Its present appearance results from a thorough transformation carried out between 1907 and 1909 by architect Jacquelin, who gave it its distinctive character: timber-framed facades made from materials recovered from old Evreux houses, multiplied dormer windows, and steeply pitched roofs. The ensemble exemplifies the taste for Norman regional architecture that prevailed around 1900.
