Castles and Manor Houses

Normandy’s landscape is defined by its defensive fortresses and elegant estates. This collection spans from the medieval strongholds of William the Conqueror in Caen and Falaise to the ornate Renaissance facades of Fontaine-Henry. Notable sites include the 11th-century Abbaye aux Dames and the well-preserved timber-framed structures of Crèvecœur-en-Auge. These landmarks illustrate the evolution of French military and residential design, featuring Romanesque abbeys, fortified manor houses, and landscaped parklands that reflect the region’s rich historical heritage.
