Origin and history

The house of Bréquigny, also known as the manor house of Brecquigny, is a house built around 1600, located on the former municipality of Sartilly, now integrated in Sartilly-Baie-Bocage in the English Channel. This monument, built in red and grey granite, is distinguished by its two high facades flanked by round and rectangular turrets. Inside, a baroque stucco fireplace, attributed to Louis du Hommeel, adorns the large room on the floor.

The mansion was erected by Pancrace Louvel de Champeaux around 1600, then passed in 1646 into the hands of the Hommeel family, which kept it until the French Revolution. The facades, roofs and the room with its fireplace have been protected since 1980 by an inscription to historical monuments, highlighting its architectural and heritage interest.

Located 2.3 km northwest of the Saint-Pair Church of Sartilly, the house illustrates Norman seigneurial architecture of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Its state of conservation and its interior decorative elements, such as the fireplace, bear witness to the refinement of the noble houses of that time. Today, the mansion belongs to a private company, without its access to the public being specified in available sources.
