We record 76 castles, manor houses and strongholds with heritage protection, spread across 64 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Castle of Saint-Germain-de-Livet (open to visitors), Castle of Creully (a listed historic monument), Château de la Fresnaye (Fresnaye Castle) (300 reviews), Château de Brécy (Brécy Castle) (open to visitors) and Manoir d'Ecajeul dit aussi Fort Basseville (16th century).

12 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 10 and the prices of 8 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 76 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 47 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
