About Château de Sassy

This 18th-century château in Normandy was built in 1760-1761 by Count Antoine Le Bègue de Germiny. The property combines classical brick and stone architecture with formal French gardens designed by Achille Duchêne in 1925. The south wing houses Chancellor Pasquier's library containing 30,000 volumes, while the interior features Aubusson and Gobelins tapestries.

Queen Elizabeth II stayed at Château de Sassy for three days in May 1967 during a private visit to Normandy's stud farms. The family redecorated a bedroom (now called "the Queen's bedroom") and renovated the bathroom specifically for her arrival. The château still preserves photographs and two handwritten letters from the Queen.
