About Miromesnil Castle
The Château de Miromesnil is a magnificent Renaissance castle in Normandy, renowned worldwide as the birthplace of celebrated French author Guy de Maupassant, who was born here on August 5, 1850. Originally a medieval fortress destroyed during the 1589 Battle of Arques, the castle was rebuilt between 1590-1600 by the Dyel family, creating the elegant north façade visitors admire today. The estate spans 14 hectares featuring a classified beech forest with 3,000 trees, an award-winning vegetable garden holding the prestigious 'Jardin Remarquable' label, and a 16th-century chapel where Maupassant was baptized.

The château uniquely straddles two communes — the main building sits in Tourville-sur-Arques while the chapel where Maupassant was baptized belongs to Saint-Aubin-sur-Scie. This quirk of geography means visiting the complete estate technically involves crossing municipal boundaries.
