88 castles from the Renaissance in Manche

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

Of the 169 castles we list in Manche, these 88 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 88 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 84 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Vauville (Vauville Castle) (open to visitors), Château de Flamanville (Flamanville Castle) (17th century), Manoir de Cantepie (on the historic monuments register), Château des Montgommery (Montgommery Castle) (a listed historic monument) and Domaine du château de Canisy (également sur commune de Saint-Gilles) (you can stay the night).

9 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 8 and the prices of 4 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 16 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 88 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
