Origin and history
The Manor of La Planche is an emblematic building located in Notre-Dame-d'Estrées-Corbon, Calvados department, Normandy. Built between the 15th and 16th centuries, it embodies the residential architecture of this period, marked by the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Its facades and roofs, protected in 1928, reflect a preserved heritage, supplemented in 1970 by the classification of its ancillary buildings.
The monument is located near the castle of Crèvecœur-en-Auge, about 600 meters south-west, in a rural environment characteristic of the Pays d'Auge. Although the available sources do not detail its precise history, its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its cultural and architectural importance to the region.
At the time of its construction in the 15th and 16th centuries, Normandy was a dynamic region, marked by agriculture, livestock and a flourishing trade, thanks in particular to ports such as Honfleur or Rouen. Manor houses, like the Planch, often served as residences for local lords or wealthy bourgeois, playing a central role in the social and economic organization of the countryside. These buildings also symbolized the power and prestige of their owners, while providing a living environment adapted to the agricultural and craft activities of the time.
