Origin and history
The mansion of Saint-Loup-de-Fribois is an emblematic building located in the Calvados department in Normandy. Although its administrative location is officially attached to Saint-Loup-de-Fribois, its GPS address places it in the immediate vicinity of Belle Vie en Auge, halfway between the towns of Saint-Loup-de-Fribois and Crèvecoeur-en-Auge. This monument, whose origins date back to the late 15th century (1470s according to some sources), was partially rebuilt or modified in the 16th century, as evidenced by the data of Monumentum.
The mansion was listed as a Historic Monument by order of 27 December 1926, recognizing its heritage value. This protection concerns the entire manor, without any specific distinction of architectural elements in the available sources. The precise GPS coordinates (5010 Lieu Livet) and its Insee code (14527) confirm its territorial anchoring in Calvados, in the heart of the historical region of Auge, known for its preserved rural heritage.
The lack of details about historic owners or the significant events related to this mansion limits the understanding of its social or economic role. However, its early inscription (1926) suggests a rapid recognition of its architectural interest, typical of Norman manors of the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) do not mention public visits or contemporary uses (chambres d'hôtes, location), suggesting a mainly private status or a discreet heritage vocation.
