To make a day of it

Château de Cairon stands in Cairon (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Cairon stands in the village of the same name, in the Calvados department. Its main residence dates from the 18th century, but it is an older dovecote, built in the 16th century within the park, that earned the site its heritage listing. The property still carries the memory of the Montalembert d'Essé family, who lived there in the 19th century.
