Informations sur le fournisseur

Bâti au XIIe siècle sur un îlot artificiel entouré de trois douves et de cinq portes fortifiées, Pirou, doté de hauts remparts, est le plus ancien des châteaux forts normands.
La très vieille légende des Oies de Pirou évoque la métamorphose des occupants du château en oies face aux assaillants scandinaves.
Le château est en restauration depuis 1968.

A découvrir : la boulangerie, le pressoir, la chapelle, la Salle des Plaids avec la Tapisserie de Pirou en été, le vieux logis et le chemin de la Ronde avec ses belles toitures de Schiste.
