Heritage day, very nice visit. Private and very well maintained castle. I recommend. Interior visit by reservation.

Charging an entry fee of €5 per person, on the weekend of heritage days, is an aberration when we know that the owners benefit from public funds to renovate their homes! These people should be reminded that public funds are not money falling from the sky but rather taxes paid by those who pay them! On top of that, 3 rooms to visit, a tower and a park with only trees, it's really making fun of the world. And the comment on the link with the Ukrainian ambassador was so poor that we felt embarrassed! At least live up to what you ask of visitors.

I love the environment and the ambience at the chateau. The park is incredible and the tour is very informative. I had the pleasure to bump into the owners at my entrance and it was an unforgettable moment to see the love and care they have for this magnificent chateau.

Abbey of Saint-Georges

Saint-Georges de Boscherville Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey. It was founded in about 1113 by Guillaume de Tancarville on the site of an earlier establishment of secular canons and settled by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul. The abbey church made of Caumont stone was erected from 1113 to 1140. The Norman builders aimed to have very well-lit naves and they did this by means of tall, large windows, initially made possible by a wooden ceiling, which prevented uplift, although this was replaced by a Gothic vault in the 13th century. The chapter room was built after the abbey church and dates from the last quarter of the 12th century.

The arrival of the Maurist monks in 1659, after the disasters of the Wars of Religion, helped to get the abbey back on a firmer spiritual, architectural and economic footing. They erected a large monastic building one wing of which fitted tightly around the chapter house (which was otherwise left as it was).
