Origin and history

The castle of Juaye is an 18th-century building, the construction of which began around 1740 to replace an earlier building. He was commanded by Charles-Louis Le Chanoine du Manoir, seigneur of Juaye and king's adviser, and completed by his successor, Jean-Louis Le Chanoine du Manoir. The park was built by the next generation, reflecting the evolution of the landscape tastes of the time.

During the French Revolution, the estate underwent changes related to road works, but its configuration was restored in the 19th century. Significant renovations took place in the last quarter of this century. The castle also played a role during the Second World War, hosting General Ally Stainer during the Battle of Normandy in 1944.

Partially classified as historical monuments since 14 April 1988, the castle protects its facades, roofs, perrons, wrought iron staircase, vestibule and two living rooms on the ground floor (grey lounge and green lounge). Its pediment bears the coat of arms of the Le Chanoine du Manoir family, highlighting its aristocratic heritage.

Located in the hamlet of Saint-André in Juaye-Mondaye (Calvados), the castle is part of a landscape marked by Norman history. Its architecture and park illustrate the social and aesthetic transformations of the 18th and 19th centuries, while bearing the stigmas of the 20th century conflicts.
