The castle of Médavy is a beautiful house of the eighteenth century, of classical architecture inspired by Mansart, built on the bases of an older fortress as evidenced by the moat and two imposing towers. The present main building was erected between 1705 and 1724 by Jacques-Léonor Rouxel de Médavy, Marshal of France, and the complex was embellished between 1754 and 1789 by Pierre Thiroux de Monregard, general farmer of the post office and relay of France.
The interior route (guided) allows you to discover an elegant staircase, lounges decorated with 18th century French furniture, portraits reminiscent of the previous owners, including Countess Thiroux de Monregard by Louis-Michel van Loo. Finally, two well-equipped map rooms house Spanish chests as well as atlases and globes from the 16th to the 18th centuries.
On an outdoor visit (free), two beautiful lime paths offer a pleasant walk on the banks of the Orne. One of the towers has been transformed into a chapel and works of African art are exhibited in the dovecote.
