En un regard
Le château en bref
Coigny Castle, known as "the old castle", at Montsenelle (Manche), is a residence of the 16th–17th centuries built by Antoine de Franquetot, president of the Parlement of Rouen (1627–1637), and completed by his son François de Franquetot de Coigny, first Duke of Coigny. A vast square complex retaining its moats, it combines a central residential wing and 17th-century outbuildings; an Italian Renaissance chimneypiece on the first floor, decorated with columns, pilasters and foliate scrolls, is listed. From 1886 to 1920 it housed the départemental school of agriculture and dairy industry. Partially protected as a historic monument, it now offers accommodation and concerts.
