Ferme de la Bucaille : inscription by order of 17 April 1931
Origin and history
The Bucaille Farm, also known as the Bucaille Manor, is a building built in the 16th century. Located in the commune of Marolles, in the department of Calvados (region Normandy), it is a typical example of the rural houses of this period. Its architecture includes a corbelled gallery under the roof, a characteristic common in Norman manors of the time.
The farm was partially built in the 16th century, although parts may date from later or earlier periods. It bears witness to construction techniques and architectural style in the region during the Renaissance, mixing agricultural functionality and decorative elements specific to seigneurial residences.
The Bucaille Farm was listed as historical monuments by an order of 17 April 1931. This protection recognizes its heritage value and its importance for the understanding of local history and the evolution of rural habitat in Normandy. No information is available on any historic owners or sponsors.
The building is located precisely at the following address: 4 Route du Château, 14100 Marolles. This location, confirmed by GPS coordinates and databases like Merimée, places the monument in a rural setting, typical of Norman manor farms. No information is provided on its current accessibility to the public or its contemporary uses.
The Calvados department, where Marolles is located, is rich in similar historical monuments, reflecting a marked rural and seigneurial history. The Bucaille Farm is part of this heritage, alongside other protected buildings such as those listed in the List of Historic Monuments of Calvados.
No historical character or specific event related to this monument is mentioned in the available sources. The history of the farm therefore remains mainly associated with its architecture and its protection as a heritage, without anecdotes or biographical details about its past occupants.
