Château became a meeting place for the arts world, giving rise to the Saint-Pierre-de-Varengeville contemporary art centre.
Housed in a handsome 19th-century building, this art centre offers 3 or 4 contemporary exhibitions a year. The 400 m² gallery welcomes emerging and established artists and showcases today’s creativity: photography, sculpture, painting and new media. Access is free and open to all, amateurs and connoisseurs alike. In the 6-hectare park, 17 monumental sculptures stand alongside a rich arboretum. Activities, guided tours and children’s workshops complete the offer.

Owner's Message
It was rebuilt on the old foundations after extensive work lasting until the end of 1898, and Gaston Le Breton, an enlightened collector and generous patron of the arts, installed his beloved collections here.
The château soon became a meeting place for the art world. Painters, sculptors and composers, including Camille Saint-Saëns, stayed here.
The façade bears witness to this period, and reads "Omnia pro arte", "Everything for art". Today, after several months of renovation, the château has given birth to the Centre d'art contemporain de Saint-Pierre-de-Varengeville.
As the seasons change, you'll be able to stroll through the 6-hectare park dedicated to showcasing sculptures and plants: arboretum, Japanese garden, rose garden..., discover the 400 m2 gallery of temporary exhibitions and the children's workshops that will take place over time.
