About Eu Castle
The Château d'Eu is a magnificent Renaissance palace with a 90-meter red brick and stone facade, begun in 1578 by Henri de Lorraine and completed in 1661 by the Duchess of Montpensier. Now housing the Musée Louis-Philippe, this former summer residence of King Louis-Philippe I showcases over 140 portraits in the restored Guise Gallery, period furniture, and artifacts from the French royal family. The château holds unique historical significance as the site where Queen Victoria made her first visits to France in 1843 and 1845, and later became home to the exiled Brazilian Imperial Family.

In 1902, a devastating fire destroyed nearly half of the château, including the famous Guise Gallery with its 140 historical portraits. The painstaking restoration of the gallery took over a decade, with art historians working to recreate the lost portraits from historical records and surviving descriptions.
