Origin and history

The Château d'Aguesseau, located in Trouville-sur-Mer in Calvados, succeeds the "Sieural mansion of Trouville-sur-Mer", owned by the Nollent family. Built probably at the beginning of the 17th century by Robert de Nollent, it passed in 1698 to Marie Madeleine Angélique de Nollent, who brought it by marriage to the Daguesseau family in 1729. The castle then took the name Aguesseau, keeping this link until the Revolution.

In 1791, the estate was divided and changed hands several times. In the 19th century, it was acquired by Count Nicolas Guy of Val d'Angoville, then by Prince Lucien Murat, who added two wings and stables between 1853 and 1857. The castle then became the property of the Biesta family, then of their descendants, including Baroness Léonce de Curières de Castelnau, the current owner.

The castle, in the style of Louis XIII, consists of a two-storey house body surmounted by a top, with corner turrets. Its facades, roofs, stables and greenhouses have been listed as historical monuments since 1995. The surrounding natural site has been classified since 1964, highlighting its heritage importance.

The castle was also known as "Villa Guizot" in 1841, when Minister François Guizot stayed there. Its architecture combines 17th century elements with 19th century additions, reflecting its historical evolution and its different owners.

The sources mention building materials of bricks and stones, with a high slope roof. The castle, surrounded by a park of 12 hectares, illustrates the evolution of aristocratic residences in Normandy, between medieval heritage and modern transformations.
