Le château en bref
The Château d'Amblie, at the locality known as Le Château in Amblie, a commune déléguée of Ponts-sur-Seulles (Calvados), in the Bessin, is a private residence that has remained in the same family for several generations. It was a seigneurial manor in the 17th century. It was rebuilt around 1750 by the Coupesarte family, then acquired in 1767 by Jean-François de Cairon de la Varende. From 1835, major works gave it its neoclassical appearance. In 1866, the marriage of Philomène de Cairon to Robert Achard de Bonvouloir continued the line. In July 1944, the château served as a reception centre for thousands of refugees. The estate includes a chapel, an ice house, a park with a remarkable tree, and rural outbuildings, among them a cider press restored in 2024 thanks to the Loto du Patrimoine.
