Origin and history

The Château du Pin, located in Calvados in Normandy, is a 17th and 18th century residence. Built around 1620 for François Achard, ordinary gentleman of the King's House, and his wife Madeleine de Mailloc, he illustrates the Louis XIII style with its brick and stone facades. The estate then passed to the family Le Conte de Nonant in the 17th century, which kept it for three centuries.

In the mid-18th century, Jean-Joseph Le Conte de Nonant, Marquis de Raray, added two pavilions to the entrance, serving as chapel and stable. During the Revolution, the castle houses the canon of Boismont and Jules-Basile Ferron de La Ferronnays, the last bishop of Lisieux. It was occupied by the Germans during World War II and was partially listed as a historical monument in 1965 and 1996.

The octagonal dovecote, decorated with the arms of Madeleine de Mailloc, and the wooded alignments of the estate complete this architectural ensemble. In 1998, the castle belonged to Mr. Whitehead. Its facades, roofs, commons and dovecote are protected, reflecting its heritage importance in Normandy.
