About our region There is lots to see and do in the local area and further afield, including: D-Day Landing Beaches The town of Valognes The Cider Museum, the Fruit
Brandy Museum and Former Trades Museum - at Valognes The town of Cherbourg Tatihou island The Mont-Saint-Michel The Château was first a stately home, built by Richard Le Cesne and then owned by the bailiff of Cotentin from 1577 to 1590. His widow Isabeau de Parc built the Chapel's bell after 1591. Their son René Le Cesne, who died in 1635, created a Louis XIII stately home with baluster stairs, and the addition of a wing. In 1765, Hyacinthe-Paul-Charles de la Houssaye, Marquis of Ourville (1708 – 1790), married Ambroisine Doisnel de Montécot and asked Pierre-Raphaël de Lozon, an architect born in Saint-Lô around 1731, to convert the castle building into two pavilions, modifying the staircase, creating new panelling and designing the farmyard buildings. From 1765 to 1769, Lozon organised the construction of the pavilions, the main building, the staircase and probably part of the panelling. But the owner had no confidence in him and changed architects. Lozon died on 1st June 1771 at the age of 40, in the Beaumont stately home he was building in Valognes. The Marquis of Ourville asked Nicolas Durand, an architect in Champagne who was born in Paris in 1739, to take in charge of the building. He designed the farmyard and decided to build panelling for the living room. The farmyard (chapel, shed,
stables, isolated pavilion) was built in 1774 by local
craftsmen, according to Durand's plans. The region is approximately an hour from the ports of Cherbourg and Caen. For further details, information and photographs please access the owners' website at: To book this property please contact the owners:
