manoir de la Hogue

En un regard

Le château en bref

La Hogue Manor, at Beuvron-en-Auge in the Calvados department, is a logis built in 1660 according to the Inventaire's entry. It has a rectangular plan and a square open-work staircase partly outside the building on the rear façade. A bedchamber fireplace retains a painted decoration showing the Flight into Egypt in a medallion flanked by two angels, set against a red ground with grisaille foliage, probably the remnant of a mural decoration that has since disappeared. The logis is listed in its entirety as a monument historique by order of 4 October 2007. Privately owned, it illustrates rural seigneurial architecture in the Pays d'Auge in the 17th century and the quality of its painted interior decoration.
