32 châteaux listed · verified entries first, then the most visited; alphabetical index at the bottom of the page

Of the 142 castles we list in Essonne, these 32 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 32 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Classical period, spread across 26 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Janvry (Janvry Castle) (on the historic monuments register), Château de Dommerville (Angerville) (open to visitors), Manoir du Tronchet (89 reviews), Château du Mesnil-Voisin (également sur communes de Janville-sur-Juine et Lardy) (a listed historic monument) and Château de la Martinière (Martinière Castle) (18th century).

8 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. 13 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Classical period, with 32 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
