Origin and history
Blangy-le-Château Manor is an emblematic 17th-century building built between 1620 and 1650 by Robert du Breuil. Situated in the commune of Blangy-le-Château (Calvados, Normandy), it is distinguished by its architecture combining bricks and cut stones, adorned with diamond and black brick crosses. Two egg-eyes animated its facade, reflecting the style of the era.
In 1659, the mansion passed into the family Le Viconte by marriage, marking a significant change of property. Its facades, roofs and entrance pavilions (Louis XIII style) have been protected as historical monuments since 21 October 1970, highlighting their heritage value. The building thus embodies the architectural and social heritage of the Normandy of the Great Century.
Built in bricks and stones, the mansion illustrates the construction techniques of the era, where local materials were highlighted by decorative motifs. The two entrance pavilions dated from the 17th century, typical of the Louis XIII style, reinforce its historical character. Today, there remains a tangible testimony to the rural and seigneurial history of the region.
