Origin and history

Jumilly Castle is a monument located in the commune of Saint-Bômer-les-Forges, Normandy. The available sources do not specify its period of construction or its exact architecture, limiting the understanding of its local historical role. In this region, castles have often played a central role in the social and economic organization of the territories.

In Saint-Bômer-les-Forges, as elsewhere in Normandy, these buildings could be used as seigneurial residences, defence sites or symbols of power, depending on the times. Their presence generally reflected the strategic or agricultural importance of the area.
