Located between Pays d'Auge and Plaine de Caen, the Louis XIII style Le Robillard Castle became the first French Agricultural Lycée in 1962, on the probable site of an ancient medieval estate with moats and control of the Gronde passage.
It was built around 1654 by the L'Hermite family and it housed the Marshal of Montesquiou d'Artagnan, cousin of the famous hero of Alexandre Dumas.
It is in 1958 that the domain is bought by the General Council of Calvados in order to establish a departmental agricultural lycée, then entrusted by the laws of decentralization to the good care of the Normandy Region. It offers a harmonious ensemble that continues to evolve and respond to its many training missions (high school, training centers for apprentices and adults, farm, cider workshop, equestrian center), experimentation and animation of the territory.
