Origin and history
Vaulaville Castle is an 18th-century residence in Tour-en-Bessin, Calvados, Normandy. Built around 1720 by Adrien Morin de Banneville, local lord and president of Caen's finance office, it embodies the Regency architecture with its double porch and its Mansart roof. The chapel, dated from the same period, houses a remarkable painted altarpiece.
The monument has been partially protected since 1971: facades, roofs, chapel, and some interior elements (Régence and Louis XVI woodworks) are classified or listed. The castle preserves antique furniture and toy porcelain of Bayeux, reflecting the refinement of its former owners.
In 1998, the estate belonged to Mrs Corblet de Fallerans. The moat, the commons, and the prospect of entry complete this architectural ensemble, typical of Norman seigneurial residences. Sources refer to references in works such as the Monumental Statistics of Calvados (Arcisse de Caumont, 1867) and articles from Norman Heritage.
