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

Of the 154 castles we list in Yvelines, these 51 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 51 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Classical period, spread across 44 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de la Madeleine (Madeleine Castle) (open to visitors), Château de Plaisir (Plaisir Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château des Mesnuls (Mesnuls Castle) (with a restaurant), Château de Jambville (Jambville Castle) (you can stay the night) and "Institution Notre-Dame " Les Oiseaux "" (on the historic monuments register).

17 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 16 and the prices of 8 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 25 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Classical period, with 51 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
