Campaign for the restoration/reconstruction of the castle

TOGETHER, LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO REVIVE MÉDAVY CASTLE!

The Dramatic Fire of September 2025

On the night of September 24 to 25, 2025, a dramatic fire destroyed part of the Château de Médavy and devastated the rest. The massive mobilization of firefighters and police officers, as well as the presence of an extensive water reserve in the moats, helped prevent the complete destruction of the building and saved parts of the collections.

THE PROJECT

The owners and the Friends of Médavy wish to rebuild and revive The Château de Médavy as quickly as possible, in order to preserve this important witness of our history and to restore its place in the cultural and tourist life of the Orne department and the Normandy region.

YOUR ROLE

Given the insurance reimbursement ceiling, your support is essential for the successful completion of this project: every donation, small or large, counts and will be entirely dedicated to restoring the building.

Your contribution will enable Château de Médavy to be reborn and its history to be passed on.

Thank you for participating in this shared effort.

Les amis de Médavy

Many people are attached to the château, know the previous and current owners, or take an interest in the richness of the presented collections. 

The purpose of the association “Les Amis de Médavy” (The Friends of Médavy) is to organize special events and to increase the château’s renown. 

As an example, we specifically organized a superb Napoleonic reenactment in August 2025, attracting 4,300 visitors with nearly 200 actors.

We are waiting for you!
