Château de Crèvecœur
CREVECOEUR-EN-AUGE
Of the fortified sites that existed in Normandy during the Middle Ages, Crèvecoeur is a unique and perfectly preserved example of a small lord's castle. This medieval castle surrounded by water has retained its original two-part layout; on the earthen mound the residential manor is protected by fortifications, whereas the chapel and the half-timbered farm buildings are concentrated in the farm yard. Exhibitions relate the site's medieval history, the construction of half-timbered houses and the adventure of the Schlumberger brothers. Unaccompanied visit lasts 1 hour 30 minutes.
