1870 French Château in Normandy, Just 10 Miles from the Sea
Located in the heart of Normandy’s Bessin region, this 19th-century neo-Gothic château stands between the historic towns of Bayeux and Caen, just 10 miles from the sea. Built in 1870, the château’s intricate façade is adorned with esoteric design elements, symbolically referencing the search for the philosopher’s stone.
Spanning 466 m² (4,951 sq ft), the château features monumental stone staircases, stained-glass windows, rich wood paneling, and elegant parquet floors. Recent updates ensure modern comforts, with new roofing, windows, and heating, blending old-world charm with contemporary living.
The château offers a spacious layout with six bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and a garden-level space once used as a restaurant. Set on 7,000 m² (1.7 acres) of parkland, it includes outbuildings, including a historic orangery with an adjoining chapel, a large garage, and a pavilion with potential for further development.
Just minutes from Bayeux and Caen, and only a short drive from the coast, this property offers a unique balance of serenity and access to Normandy’s historic treasures.
