Château médiéval de Creully – Musée de la radio
A fortified castle between Caen and Bayeux
The medieval castle at Creully is one of the most important in Calvados, after those at Caen and Falaise.
Situated in the heart of the village of Creully-sur-Seulles, it is striking for its unusual architecture, which bears witness to the many alterations 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.
Radio Museum
Inside the castle, the Radio Museum displays civilian and military radios from the 20th century. Texts, films and artefacts illustrate the evolution of communication methods and the importance of Creully as the cradle of war reporting.
It was in fact in the castle’s Square Tower that the BBC set up a radio studio in June 1944, enabling war correspondents to broadcast their reports on the Battle of Normandy.
The museum’s collections are displayed in two areas of the castle.
One is accessible only as part of a guided tour.
You can explore the castle on your own or as part of a guided tour.
