This château, built by the Archbishop of Rouen, is one of the earliest jewels of the French Renaissance.
Château de Gaillon is one of the earliest treasures of the French Renaissance, built by the archbishop of Rouen, Cardinal Georges d'Amboise, in parallel with those built in the Loire Valley. Dismantled during the French Revolution, transformed into a penitentiary until 1946, it was finally bought by the State in 1975. Since then, a long restoration campaign has been underway. Guided tours, dramatized tours and exhibitions animate the site during the season, allowing visitors to discover all the treasures this building has to offer.
