Château de Courtomer stands in the serene Orne valley of northern France, a late-18th-century estate built between 1787 and 1789. Replacing a medieval stronghold that stood for centuries, it became the seat of a powerful Norman family for nearly a millennium. Today, this popular wedding chateau in Normandy pairs historic grandeur with peaceful countryside surroundings.
With its classical style and symmetry, the chateau embodies 18th-century Enlightenment ideals of harmony and balance. The history of Chateau de Courtomer is rich and fascinating, marked by centuries of social and political upheaval. The current structure, designed by a Parisian architect and commissioned by the last Marquis of Courtomer, stands as a testament to a bygone era of nobility and grandeur. In 2005, the Bonner family purchased and restored the chateau, bringing it back to its former glory.

The chateau's grand architecture and beautiful surroundings provide a romantic backdrop for ceremonies and receptions.
