About the location

Château de Cerisy-la-Salle

Le Château, 50210 Cerisy-la-Salle

Manche
Normandie

Built between 1605 and 1620, the castle stayed in the same family since 1819\. He(It) succeeds a medieval building of which the barbican remains(subsists) in particular which overhangs a pond, a stream and hundred-year-old trees. In the XVIIIth century, he(it) was extended by alignment of the north facade, and stone bridges were built on ditches(gaps). It contains a central building(ship) flanked(thrown) by four detached houses(flags), with staircase in projection, parallel in facades, in two flights(volleys) walled off by échiffre, the whole in a grave and noble style, and with a system of staves(moats), archaic for time(period), probably more ornamental than servicemen. Of the south terrace, they dominate the bocage surrounding the gentle valley of her Soul(Drunk). Indoors, the ceiling is especially pointed out paints the Big(Great) Room, supporting(maintaining) library(bookcase) receiving meetings, as well as imposing fireplaces. The castle and the big(great) buildings(ships) of the annexed farm, partly of previous(former) construction, are listed(classified) among Historic monuments because of architectural quality and of big(great) coherence of the set(group), as centre of culture and of history(story), including that of modern thought.
