Château de Saint-Aubin-d'Écrosville

En un regard

Le château en bref

In Saint-Aubin-d'Écrosville, south-west of Louviers in the Eure, the château is a brick-and-stone residence in the Louis XIII style, built around 1640 for the Le Roux family. It consists of a large central corps de logis extended by lower wings, a composition typical of Norman châteaux of the first half of the seventeenth century, in which the polychromy of red brick and white stone enlivens the façades. In 1688, the estate was sold to the Pavyot family, whose descendants still own it more than three centuries later. Around 1860, the architect Destailleur remodelled the cour d'honneur and the great stables, and the park was transformed. From 1950 onwards, the owners set out to restore the state of the park at the beginning of the eighteenth century and created gardens in which sculptures from Hyères are displayed. The interiors retain decorative schemes from the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. The interiors have been listed as monuments historiques since 14 December 2001, and the estate, with its château, park, gardens and avenues, has been classified since 20 October 2004. It is a private property.
