To make a day of it
Château d'Aubigny stands in Cahagnes (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Cahagnes, in the Calvados department, the Aubigny château keeps the outline of a Norman manor reworked in the first half of the 17th century over foundations dating back to the 15th century. An approach courtyard, fronted by a pond and an old barn, leads to the building, whose corner pavilions with their pyramidal roofs still recall the medieval structure. This is above all a private residence to look at from outside, illustrating the rise of a minor Norman noble family ennobled in the 16th century.
