Located in the heart of the Bocage Normand, on the banks of the Druance, the domain of Pontécoulant brings together the distinctive marks of the nobility: castle, pavilions of the gamekeeper and gardener, dovecote, landscaped park, vegetable garden, outbuildings, farm, wood and land.
The Doulcet de Pontécoulant family settled here in the 14th century on the site of a feudal clod. Rebuilt in the 16th century, their home was enlarged in the 18th century. From the second half of the 18th century, the family lived in Caen and especially in Paris: the castle became a summer residence.
Decors, furniture and familiar objects reflect the lifestyle of this aristocratic family in the 19th century. Dining room, large living room, billiard room, rooms on the ground floor and the first floor contain furniture of various origins: French furniture with famous stamps, exotic furniture, regional furniture, testifying to the taste of travel and the attachment to this region of Le Doulcet de Pontécoulant.
