Of the 297 castles we list in Calvados, these 91 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 91 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Classical period, spread across 82 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château du Breuil-en-Auge (open to visitors), Château de la Fresnaye (Fresnaye Castle) (a listed historic monument), Manoir (you can stay the night), Château de Vouilly (Vouilly Castle) (18th century) and Manoir (on the historic monuments register).

6 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 5 and the prices of 2 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 30 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Classical period, with 91 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
