Château du Fresne-Camilly


The Château du Fresne-Camilly is a château located in the municipality of Le Fresne-Camilly in the French department of Calvados.

History

It was built in the first half of the seventeenth century for the Blouet family of Camilly, and replaced a mediaeval building. It was burnt down during the French Revolution in 1792 but was rebuilt at the beginning of the nineteenth century for Count Leforestier d'Osseville.

Architecture

The building is built in Creully Limestone. The dovecote, chapel, cellars and moats are all older than the current nineteenth century building and the dovecote has lost its roof but is still well preserved
