In the rolling hills of Normandy, just ninety minutes from Paris, Château de Marigny stands within its walled parkland as a vision from another age. Surrounded by 44 hectares of gardens and woodland, this remarkable estate offers a sense of privacy and grandeur, where every arrival feels cinematic and every stay becomes a story worth telling.
Flanked by two entrance towers dating back to 1307, the château reveals its medieval origins at first glance. Remodelled in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it now embodies the refined symmetry of Louis XIII architecture, with brick and stone façades, lofty roofs and mullioned windows that draw light into the interiors. A moat of running water, fed by the Lévrière, encircles the château, reflecting its elegant silhouette. In the inner courtyard, sculpted topiary creates a striking focal point, while beyond stretches the sweeping perspective of the meadow and its tranquil miroir d’eau.
Inside, wood panelling and gracious salons with impressive ceiling heights create an atmosphere of quiet distinction. Listed as a historic monument since 1948, Château de Marigny carries its history with quiet confidence, its legacy carefully preserved through thoughtful restoration.
The château features exquisite living spaces, a beautiful kitchen, grand dining room and salon with billard table. This part of the estate sleeps 8 guests across four gorgeous bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. From October to April, there is also the option to rent the château by itself for only 10 guests, in which case a fifth and rather sumptuous bedroom (where the owners otherwise reside) is made available to guests.
For larger groups and special events, the cottage wing offers twelve wonderful bedrooms, including a romantic master bedroom with a huge bathroom, a dorm-style room for younger guests and other exquisite doubles and singles all with private bathrooms. Two reception rooms can be set-up for family feasts and special events with pretty French windows opening to the gardens.
Outside, morning mist drifts over the water as sunlight filters through the trees. Woodland paths lead to the far edge of the estate, where deer move silently between the trees. Within the parkland, a swimming pool, tennis court, pétanque, trampoline and table tennis provide moments of leisure for all generations.
Set in a small village in the Eure department of Normandy, close to the borders of Seine-Maritime and Oise, the château is perfectly placed for exploring the many treasures of northern France. Gisors is just 14.5km away for medieval history, shops and restaurants, while Lyons la Forêt, Gerberoy and Giverny offer memorable day trips rich in heritage and artistry. Rouen is around an hour away, and even Paris is within reach by car or train for a fine day out in the capital.
For those seeking an exceptional setting for celebrations, gatherings or refined escapes, Château de Marigny promises an experience shaped by heritage, nature and historic grandeur.
- Sleeping up to 35 guests, there are four bedrooms in the château (8 guests) and twelve bedrooms in the separate cottage (27 guests). Please see the “Layout” tab for full details.
- The 10-person rate includes the château only - in this case, an annexed fifth double bedroom is made available (where the owners otherwise reside). This rate is only available October to April.
- Please note that the owners usually stay on site during your stay. There are also resident staff who live in cottages within the grounds.
- Due to the open water across the grounds (including a large moat with running water and more) this historic château is not ideal for young children (and all children will need to be supervised very carefully).
