GUIDED VISIT TO THE CASTLE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE TOWN HALL OF CONDÉ IN NORMANDY

Organized by: CAUE du Calvados

Located in the heart of the Normandy Bocage, on the banks of the Druance, the Domaine de Pontécoulant brings together the distinctive marks of the nobility: castle, hunting lodge and gardener, dovecote, landscaped park, vegetable garden, outbuildings, farm, wood and land.
The family Le Doulcet de Pontécoulant settled there in the 14th century on the site of a feudal motte. Rebuilt in the 16th century, their house 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.
Decorations, furniture and familiar objects reflect the lifestyle in the nineteenth century of this aristocratic family. Dining room, large living room, billiard room, rooms on the ground floor and the first floor contain furniture of various origins: French furniture with renowned stamps, exotic furniture, regional furniture, testifying to the taste of travel and the attachment to this region of Le Doulcet de Pontécoulant.
