Durdan Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

Durdan Castle, on Rue de Durdan in Bernières (Seine-Maritime), is a private property that can be seen from the road but is not open to visitors. The estate belonged to the Le Mazurier family in 1676, and the area was elevated to the marquisate of Bernières in 1678. An early manor house from the mid-sixteenth century retains the lower part of a defensive tower; the main house was built in the seventeenth century in brick and stone, the tower was rebuilt on three levels, and a neo-Gothic chapel in limestone, a bascule bridge, and farm buildings alternating flint and brick were added in the nineteenth century.
