Château d'Omonville-la-Folliot

En un regard

Le château en bref

Surrounded by a moat of water, the Château d'Omonville, in Denneville (Port-Bail-sur-Mer), has a Louis XIII-style façade flanked by two towers: on the left a plain 16th-century tower, on the right a 19th-century tower richly decorated with coats of arms. A square moat encloses a square building at each corner; at the rear are three conical-roofed turrets and French formal gardens, and the outbuildings rebuilt in the 19th century form an arc of a circle on a terrace. At the Revolution it belonged to Pierre-Marie Eustace d'Omontville, then passed to several families before belonging, since 1937, to the de La Fournière family. Severely damaged during the fighting of 1944, it is a private residence visible from the outside.
