En un regard
Le château en bref
The Manoir de Campigny, or Ferme du Vieux Château, in the Calvados department, has a Renaissance façade dated to around 1540. The entrance gateway, with three basket-handle arched openings and an entablature with pinnacles, opens onto a main residential building adorned with a monumental fireplace on the first floor, decorated with medallions, scrollwork and lozenges, and bearing the coat of arms of the Meslin family, allied in 1572 with the heirs of the Hamon family, lords of Campigny. Before the Revolution, the fief of Saint-Maurice depended on the seigneury of Campigny. The gateway and the main building with its fireplace are classified as historic monuments; the façades and roofs of a pavilion in the courtyard are registered.
