Bénouville Castle was built from 1768 to 1785 by the Marquis de Livry. For most of the 20th century, the castle served as an orphanage and then the regional chamber of accounts moved there in 1990. Since then, it is possible to visit the castle and the exhibitions it houses.

The beautiful castle is a good example of neoclassical architecture in France at the end of the 18th century. It is one of the most important works of the Parisian architect Claude-Nicola Ledoux. The courtyard facade has an impressive row of iconic columns, crowned by a entablature with a relief of weapons and figures. The garden side shows the same ionic order, but pilasters below the attic bearing military victory marks. Now the castle is owned by the departmental council and it hosts temporary exhibitions.
