Built to protect the mouth of the River Seine, it includes an imposing square crenellated tower.
In 1604, the Orcher land was decreed to be the property of Georges Laillet seigneur of Auricher, and consisted of castle, fortress and house covered with slate.
In 1795, following the division of the estate with the death of Madame de Melmont, the property was described as a "dwelling house castle and accessories and a farm of 145 acres".
In the 19th century, the estate became the property of the Rochechouart family, who had the castle, notably the tower, restored in 1857 by the architect P. Philippon.
The Château d'Orcher is listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
