Château de Bosc-le-Comte

En un regard

Le château en bref

Bosc-le-Comte Castle stands in the hamlet of the same name, in Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux, in the Pays de Caux. A private residence, its ordered main building in brick and sandstone comprises a basement and a ground floor with an attic level under a slate roof with long slopes and a hipped end, with an internal staircase and a planted embankment. Its most remarkable feature is the west gateway in brick and sandstone, together with a boundary wall dating from the 17th century; the glazed brick contributes to the decoration. The fief is attested as early as the mid-15th century. A chapel dedicated to the Holy Trinity was built in 1693 for Nicolas du Resnel, and then disappeared before 1852. The present main building dates from the second half of the 18th century. The façades and roofs have been listed as historic monuments since 1970.
