About Châteauthèque
Châteauthèque is a free online resource dedicated to France’s castles and wider architectural heritage. It catalogs 27,466 castles, manor houses, fortresses, fortified houses and related historic buildings across 101 departments and 13 regions. Each listing can bring together historical information, photographs and details of a building’s status as a protected Monument Historique, with sources cited on the individual record.
Visitors can explore the collection through an interactive map with search and filters for period, building type and heritage status. The site also highlights notable castles, offers browsing by region and department, and provides information about the origins of its data. These come from recognized open sources, including the French Ministry of Culture’s Mérimée database, Wikidata, Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, BnF Gallica and DataTourisme.
Châteauthèque also offers a free iPhone app and a weekly newsletter featuring stories, historical anecdotes and visit suggestions. For individual properties, visitor access depends on the owner; where available, official websites are linked from the listings.
