Amazing place to be with great underfloor heating, wich makes it perfect also during winter events. The owners are very friendly and close to their guests. A must when in Normandie!

We celebrated our wedding (July 2023) at Château de Tilly and welcomed 220 people. We were able to enjoy the outdoor terrace for cocktails then the orangery for the evening and brunch. Our guests (and ourselves) were transported by the magic of the place for a weekend. We appreciated the responsiveness, availability and professionalism of the team: they are experienced and supported us to enable our projects (and dreams) to come true. We appreciated the quality of the service and the rooms on site as well as the delicate attention given to the bride and groom. We highly recommend Château de Tilly.

Gravensteen

The Gravensteen is a castle in Ghent originating from the Middle Ages. The name means 'castle of the counts' in Dutch. Arnulf I (918–965), Count of Flanders, was the first to fortify this place, building a medieval bastion on this high sand dune, naturally protected by the river Leie and its marshy banks. This bastion consisted of a central wooden building and several surrounding buildings, also in wood.

In the early 11th century, the wooden building was replaced by a stone residence, consisting of three large halls that made up three storeys, connected by a stone stairwell. The monumental stone staircase, the light openings, the fireplaces built into the walls and the latrines were signs of considerable luxury and comfort in those days. There was probably also a tower.
