Château de l’Herm

Welcome to Château de l'Herm

Château de l'Herm Built between 1500 and 1520 by Jean de Calvimont, this masterpiece of flamboyant Gothic architecture was abandoned after numerous crimes.

Eugène Le Roy set the scene for his novel "Jacquou le Croquant", adapted for television by Stellio Lorenzi in 1969.

This romantic "open-hearted" place offers you an unforgettable discovery and will seduce you with its authenticity.

Thanks to the protection work undertaken since 2000, the château is now protected and safeguarded. Historical and archaeological research has enabled us to understand the history and chronology of this site in its entirety.

Depuis 2020 , Nicolas de Laage de Meux a entrepris une restauration totale du monument  et obtenu son classement .

Apres près de 6 ans de travaux le Château a retrouvé ses charpentes , ses toits , ses chemins de ronde et  ses lucarnes .
En mai la dernière charpente sera posée sur la tour sud- ouest .

Encore 30 mois de labeur avant l’ouverture officielle à la visite ..

La programmation culturelle suivra en 2030.
