Origin and history
Lieu-Binet Manor House is a civilian building located in Lisieux, Calvados department, Normandy. Built in the 3rd quarter of the 17th century, it embodies the manorial architecture of this period, marked by a transition between late Renaissance and early classical styles. Its location in the extreme south of Lisieux, near departmental roads 579 and 613, suggests a potential role in local exchanges or as a seigneurial residence.
Ranked as Historic Monuments since October 2, 1939, the manor house enjoys a recognized heritage protection. This distinction emphasizes its architectural or historical importance, although the available sources do not specify the exact criteria for this classification. The building is located at 89 Rue Fournet, in the district of Saint-Jacques-de-Lisieux, an area now integrated into the municipality.
The archives mention a reference in the Monumental Statistics of Calvados (1867) of Arcisse de Caumont, indicating an early interest in this heritage. However, details of its history, owners or transformations remain fragmented. No information is available on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any historical characters related to the site.
