Located in the heart of the Norman Bocage, on the banks of the Druance, the Pontécoulant estate brings together the distinctive marks of the nobility: castle, hunting and gardening pavilions, dovecote, landscaped park, vegetable garden, outbuildings, farm, wood and land.
The Doulcet family of Pontécoulant settled there in the 14th century on the site of a feudal motte. 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.
Decorations, furniture and familiar objects reflect the way of life in the 19th 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 famous stamps, exotic furniture, regional furniture, testifying to the taste of travel and attachment to this region of Le Doulcet of Pontécoulant.
