In the th century, a fortress occupied those lands, held by the lord of Thymerais. It was at the time of Louis XIII that he took his current appearance. Then he belonged to the Séguier family and then became the property of the Princess of Condé, the Duchess of Maine, King Louis-Philippe and Count Olivier de Bazelaire, his current owner. Located on the edge of the, forest, this castle hanging above the valley of the Eure and classified historic monument is also the dream place for wedding receptions: magical setting, romantic atmosphere, dance lounge, tents, terraces and gardens guarantee an unforgettable evening.

The Sorel-Moussel castle is first of all impressive moat. When you arrive in front of the drawbridge, you can only stop to admire this building that it looks like built on a rocky piton. Then the two buildings reveal themselves, in red bricks. Between the two, an empty space, sometimes filled by a large white tent, links the two parts of the castle which, occupied by several royal families and the lords of the Thymerais, was destroyed at the time of the French Révolutionn.
