En un regard

Le château en bref

Victot Castle, in Victot-en-Auge (Calvados), was built in 1574 by Philippe Boutin and Geneviève de Croismare, with financial support from her father, Robert de Croismare, councillor to the Parlement of Rouen. An example of the late French Renaissance, it is surrounded by a moat and laid out around an inner courtyard, with a chapel and stud farm buildings. It passed to the Aumont family in 1798. The façades, roofs, moat and water system are listed as monuments historiques (classé); the stud farm, chapel and water systems are listed as monuments historiques (inscrit); the park is a site classé.
