En un regard
Le château en bref
Overlooking the Orne valley at Rabodanges (commune of Putanges-le-Lac, Orne), the Château de Rabodanges is a classical-style residence built in the seventeenth century, probably by Louis III, first Marquis of Rabodanges, on the site of a twelfth-century fortified stronghold; dates vary according to the sources. The central main block, surmounted by a pediment in the Italian taste, is flanked by two pavilions; the pediment features two angels holding a plane, the family's canting arms. The estate also includes a chapel and outbuilding pavilions. Sold in the nineteenth century by Jean-Baptiste de Beaune to Victor de Buus d'Hollebeke, the estate belonged in 1998 to Philippe Lemoine-Boucaud. The building is protected as a monument historique.
