The Château de Navarre was a château near Évreux in Normandy. It was built for Queen Joan II of Navarre and later came into the possession of the House of La Tour d'Auvergne. The Chateau was built in 1750 and the two towers date to the seventeenth century. The Chateau was burned down in 1834 and torn down two years later. The chateau was surrounded by the forest of Everux. The Chateau or Palace of Navarre was located in the French part of the country. It was the principality of Bearn. Queen Joan ruled with her husband Antoine for many years, during this time they were called to the King of France and it proposed that Joan and Antoine give up their lands to the Kingdom of France in exchange for territory in France. The Kingdom of Navarre would have passed into French control and they royalty of Navarre would become princelings. Jeanne refused this offer and the Kingdom of Navarre stayed as it was until Joan passed away. Henry IV was the son of Jeanne and Antoine and would gain the title King of France and Navarre when he became king. From there it passed on to other families and later became the home of Napoleon’s ex-wife Josephine. Comte Roy, minister of Finance, gained the property after the Josephine. It also became the residences of the Duke of Bouillon and then later the Duke of Leuchtenberg, his grand-son, authorized by an Act , sold this area, in 1834 to the Marquis de Dauvet , for the sum of 1.2 million francs. The castle fell in 1836, and on the land a factory was  built and the land and meadows were sold in retail. As for the forest of Evreux, depending formerly the domain of Navarre, it was not part of the prerogative of the Empress Josephine. This forest was sold in retail at around the same time as the castle, by the princes of Rohan, heirs of the last duke of Bouillon. It would not become the property of the City of Evreux until 1981. On the location of the castle is now a racecourse and the area became known as the "neighborhood of Navarre."

The building was in the shape of cube. It was fenced in on four sides by balustrades and had four granite stairways leading to four entrances. The chateau was topped with dome that was covered in lead.

During the First Empire it was granted to Napoleon's ex-wife Joséphine, who was created Duchess of Navarre. When Josephine arrived at the Chateau she was not pleased with the state that the Chateau had fallen into. She was not very impressed with the small rooms, the worn out woodwork, and the amount of water that surrounded the Chateau. As a result she wrote to Napoleon telling him that she was going to repair all of the ruins and embellish the estate with the bounty assigned to her. While doing these repairs she would spend a considerable amount of money returning the chateau to its previous state. She would make the water that pooled around the chateau, into a flowing waterway instead of stagnant one. The surrounding marsh area was used to expand the stables. As a result the surrounding area benefited. She did this by raising plantations, caused the marshes to be dried up, public buildings were erected, and she provided the peasants with work opportunities. She also improved the roads leading to and from the forest of Evreux. Comte Roy would gain the property after Josephine and he let the property fall back into ruin.
