Of the 152 castles we list in Orne, these 79 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 79 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 72 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Flers (Flers Castle) (open to visitors), Manoir de Courboyer (a listed historic monument), Château de Médavy (Médavy Castle) (136 reviews), Château de Gacé (Gacé Castle) (on the historic monuments register) and Château de Courtomer (Courtomer Castle) (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 9 and the prices of 3 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 79 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
