Builders of the castle around 1580
Origin and history
The Château de la Folletière is a house dating from the late 16th century, built around 1580 by the family of Loubert. Located in the commune of Neuilly, in the department of Eure in Normandy, it embodies Renaissance architecture with its scauguettes and French roofs. The main building, of a collected type, is surrounded by meadows and a park crossed by a river fed by the Eure, creating a remarkable landscape.
The castle was partially listed as historical monuments by order of 22 May 1951. This protection covers not only the facades and roofs of the main house, but also the wood-paned communes, the surrounding meadows and the hydraulic network. These elements demonstrate the historic and architectural significance of the site, as well as its harmonious integration into the Norman landscape.
Although the sources mention a period of construction in the 17th century (Monumentum), the majority of architectural and historical elements, including the date of 1580 and the Renaissance style, suggest an older origin in the 16th century. This disparity could be explained by subsequent changes or transcription errors in databases. The castle remains a characteristic example of the seigneurial residences of the region, combining defensive function and residential aesthetics.
