A fortified castle between Caen and Bayeux The medieval castle of Creully is one of the most important in Calvados after Caen and Falaise. Situated in the heart of the village of Creully-sur-Seulles, its unusual architecture bears witness to the many changes it underwent between the 12th and 19th centuries. Its exceptional Romanesque hall, moat and ramparts stand in stark contrast to the Renaissance turret on its façade.
The Radio Museum Inside the château, the Radio Museum displays 20th-century civilian and military radios. Texts, films and artefacts illustrate the evolution of communications and the importance of Creully as the cradle of war reporting. In June 1944, the BBC set up a radio studio in the château’s Tour Carrée, enabling war correspondents to broadcast their reports on the Battle of Normandy.
The museum’s collections are on display in two areas of the château. One is only accessible on guided tours.
You can explore the Château on your own or with a guide. A wide range of events are also on offer throughout the summer!
Château grounds: discover the grounds – Open all season 8am-9pm. From the terrace, enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view over the Seulles valley and the Creullet estate! Access to the park may be restricted, particularly at weekends, depending on the events taking place there.
