Château de Sommervieu

En un regard

Le château en bref

The former seminary estate, built on the site of a château destroyed in the 1950s, lies in the French commune of Sommervieu, in the Calvados department of the Normandy region of France. Owned by the bishops of Bayeux until the French Revolution, the estate was sold as national property. It was used for teaching and ecclesiastical purposes until the early 20th century. Thereafter it had various uses during that century, and the 16th-century château, by then in ruins, was demolished at the end of the 1950s. By the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, the building had been converted into flats. The estate has been listed as a historic monument since 2024.
