You enter the château grounds through a superb listed beech forest, which borders the entire estate. Listed as a Historic Monument, the building stands on the site of an ancient fortified castle destroyed in 1539. Adorned with two turrets, the majestic building is revealed…
Built in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Henri IV and Louis XIII facades give the impression of discovering two different châteaux. A visit to this monument invites you to meet its illustrious inhabitants: the Marquis de Miromesnil, Louis XVI’s Keeper of the Seals, and the famous writer Guy de Maupassant, whose birthplace it is. The various salons keep and restore the memory.
Outside, the three-thousand-tree park contains one of Miromesnil’s finest treasures: a small, listed 15th-century chapel, a medieval vestige that survived the reconstruction.

Since 2004, Mr and Mrs Romatet have lived in the château with their three children. The estate has been in the same family for three generations. Nathalie Romatet’s grandparents, the Comte and Comtesse de Vogüé, acquired the property in 1938. Today, the young owners are full of ideas. From the traditional garden sale to the astonishing Salon International de la Laine, there’s never a dull moment at Château de Miromesnil.
Here, the seasons follow their own rhythms. In April, you’ll be on the lookout for Easter eggs as you explore the grounds. In autumn, you can stroll through the gardens and buy vegetables. At the end of the year, it’s time for warmth, conviviality and magic. You’ll enter the castle’s inner sanctum over a glass of mulled wine at the Christmas market, one of the finest in the region. And the program doesn’t stop there…
