A French Heritage Monument

A remarkable historic monument

The Chateau de Canisy is a remarkable national historic monument in the middle of a 800-acre ( 300 hectares) park with ponds, forests and farmland. It has belonged to the same family for a thousand years.

The castle is located in Normandy, 45 minutes away from the landing beaches and the Mont Saint Michel, only 30 minutes away from the town of Bayeux and right in the middle of the first horse breeding area in France.

One of the Seven Wonders of La Manche in Normandy

Listed as one of the Seven wonders of La Manche, the château is among the select few well-preserved family chateaux in France.

It comprises two main wings, a dovecote and medieval towers built in the 13th and 14th centuries. The château boasts more than 50 rooms, including several drawing rooms, a music room, two dining rooms, a theatre, a bar, cellars and attics. A monumental granite staircase was designed by architect François Gabriel (the ancestor of Ange-Jacques Gabriel, one of the architects of the Château de Versailles and the Petit Trianon).

Each suite is unique and all have been decorated and renovated in the radiant and elegant style of the 18th century.

The silk fabrics and wallpapers, inspired by original 18th-century designs, have been carefully selected to respect the authentic and historic spirit of the place.
