William the Conqueror's Castle

Highlight • Castle

Absolutely recommended! Very well done - the ruins were reconstructed by modern concrete buildings - so that you have a good impression of the building at that time - but can see exactly what original substance is and what is not. Inside the castle everything is bare - but with the help of tablets you can get 3D impressions of the former interior.

Porte des Cordeliers

Highlight • Monument

The Porte des Cordeliers is a medieval gate and one of the remains of the fortified enclosure which surrounded the town of Falaise, birthplace of William the Conqueror. The gate was built in the 13th century and was guarded by Franciscan monks, also known as Cordeliers. You can admire the architecture of the gate and its neighboring tower, as well as the view of the countryside and the Château de Falaise.

Château de La Fresnaye

Highlight • Castle

The house was built around 1750. At that time, a beautiful English park with gardens was created. It no longer exists today, but the green space that one crosses to access the house is still a peaceful part of nature to enjoy.
