This castle is not one of the many places of memory of Protestantism in the Bocage. The “De Grésille” will remain Catholic. However, the existing rivalry between the two lordly families “Payen” of the Château de La Poupelière and “De Grésille” of the Château de St Sauveur, concerning the supremacy of Ste Honorine la Chardonne, fueled the conflicts and pillaging during the religious wars of the Bocage. To go further: How did Nicolas de Grésille end up in prison in Avranches in 1566 following the looting of the castle of St Sauveur ordered by Guillaume Payen? https://1drv.ms/b/s!AvZwDDO2nEl-gSKo6J3jG1hKRgP7?e=jKF7Ty

Castle at Falaise, which is best known for being the birthplace of William the Conqueror

Since the 11th century, this place has always had a defensive position and structure. On the remains of the medieval structure, this castle was built from the 1600s and, as you see it today, from the 1850s. The buildings house stables, a wine press and a bakery, among other things. The castle park, which once covered hundreds of hectares, covers only 20 today and is a classified ornithological reserve.

Château Ganne is an old castle from the 11th century. Its remains are a delight for walkers. There is something so much more accessible to getting a sense of a place than when visiting some much grander intact castles. You can run your fingers over the walls, walk among the ruins, and explore.

The house was built around 1750. At that time, a beautiful English park with gardens was created. It no longer exists today, but the green space that one crosses to access the house is still a peaceful part of nature to enjoy.

An absolute must to visit here
