Origin and history

Chapot House, located in Falaise in Calvados, was an emblematic 16th century building. It was distinguished by its pavilion, dated from the same period, which was in the garden of the property. This pavilion, a remarkable architectural element, was listed as the Historic Monuments on 21 June 1927, highlighting its heritage importance.

The house and its pavilion were destroyed in 1944 during the bombings of the Battle of Normandy, which ravaged much of the city of Falaise. These bombings, linked to the liberation of France during the Second World War, caused the loss of many historic buildings, including Chabot House. Today, only documentary traces and records remain in the archives.

According to available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, the house was located at 41 rue Saint-Gervais. It was also called "house with pavilion and tower called David Tower", suggesting a complex architecture and perhaps defensive or residential prestige. Its destruction in 1944 marks the end of a significant Renaissance architectural heritage in Lower Normandy.
