Es bonito, pero es privado y está descuidadísimo. El entorno es especial y la bajada es bonita con el campo y la roca con la casita, pero.. da mucha pena cómo está mantenido, se le podría sacar mucho partido y que fuera un espacio disfrutable. Una pena. Habíamos leído que era un espacio de águilas y tampoco lo vemos un entorno para eso, pero no somos expertos, así que no sabemos ajjaja. Por cierto, nos han sorprendido mucho estas piezas numeradas que había por todos lados, no sabemos su uso y no conseguimos averiguarlo. Os dejo una foto, si alguien sabe qué son y para qué sirven, informádnos! Saludos!

Magnífico lugar. Muy emblemático. Desde el castillo se divisa toda la meseta. Las vistas son espectaculares. Tiene muchos viñedos alrededor. Es un lugar singular. Se puede alquilar para eventos y para pernoctar. Es una experiencia única. Recomendable visitarlo.

Not much to see. Castle is a private residence.

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).
