Origin and history
The Manor House of La Hogue is a 17th-century residence in Beuvron-en-Auge, Calvados department, Normandy. Built around 1660, it is part of the architectural style typical of the augen manors of this period, with a rectangular plan and a square cage staircase in half hors-oeuvre. Its interior decor, including a fireplace decorated with a painting depicting the Escape in Egypt framed by angeles, bears witness to a refined art, although the rest of the wall decor has now disappeared.
The house of the mansion was fully registered as historical monuments by order of 4 October 2007. This protection recognizes its heritage value, both for its architecture and for its preserved decorative elements. The manor house is located at the place known as the Hogue, at the approximate address of the 165 Route de Gerrots, in a commune known for its rural heritage and its wooden constructions.
Available sources, including Monumentum and the Merimée base, underline its importance in the landscape of Norman manors. Although little documented about its historic owners, the mansion illustrates the way of life of the local elites in the 17th century, a period marked by the post-war reconstruction of One Hundred Years and the affirmation of rural seigneuries. Its recent listing among protected monuments reflects a desire to preserve this regional heritage.
