Origin and history
The Balleroy mansion, located in Biéville-Beuville in Calvados, is an 18th-century property built by Nicolas-François Le Coq. This Louis XIV style building is based on an older structure, potentially dated from the reign of Louis XIII. Its facade is preceded by a meadow down to Dan, and its ground floor retains carved stone frames. The date of 1758, engraved on the commons, marks a stage in its architectural history.
The mansion belonged to the Bouriez family since 1806. He played a historic role during the Biéville Liberation on June 6, 1944 and the following weeks. Partly inscribed in the Historical Monuments since December 27, 1989, it bears witness to the bourgeois architecture of the country and its anchor in local history.
About 200 metres from the church of Biéville, the mansion is located on the old King's Way. Although the villa is now uninhabited, its protected elements include the back façade, a roof section and a large living room with its original décor. These features are a remarkable example of the Norman heritage of the eighteenth century.
