Château-sur-Epte

France, France

Château-sur-Epte is a small village in the Eure department of Normandy, best known for the impressive ruins of the medieval Château de Châteauneuf-sur-Epte.

The settlement developed around this fortress, which stands on a strategic site overlooking the Epte Valley near the historic border between the Duchy of Normandy and the Kingdom of France. The castle was founded around 1097 by William Rufus, King of England, to strengthen Normandy’s frontier defenses.

Over the centuries, it played an important military role, endured sieges and wars, and was later reinforced by successive rulers before gradually losing its strategic importance. Today, Château-sur-Epte is a peaceful rural community where the castle ruins remain the main attraction. The site is recognized as a historic monument and is the focus of ongoing preservation efforts, offering visitors a glimpse into Normandy’s medieval past and its long-standing connection to French and English history.
