Origin and history

Assemont Manor House is a building located in Lisieux, Calvados department, Normandy. This monument, the exact address of which is 2 rue d'Assemont or 41 avenue du 6-Juin, is distinguished by its wooden structure, typical of regional architecture. It is located west of the bordered agglomeration, near the crossroads leading to Caen, highlighting its integration into a major historical axis.

Ranked as Historic Monuments since 3 August 1936, the Assemont mansion is now owned by the municipality of Lisieux. Its classification refers specifically to the "house made of wooden panels" identified under the reference cadastral AB 26. Although available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) do not specify its current use, its protected status reflects its heritage importance.

The Lisieux region, in Lower Normandy (now Normandy), has long been marked by vernacular architecture in wooden strips, reflecting local resources and craftsmanship. Such houses often served as residences for wealthy families or local notables, playing a central role in the social and economic life of the towns. The Assemont mansion is part of this, although its specific history and possible historical occupants are not detailed in the sources consulted.
