Château de l'Isle-Marie stands in Picauville (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Set within the marshes of Beuzeville near Picauville, this Cotentin estate preserves traces of a fortified site recorded as early as the 11th century under the name Le Homme. Visitors find a 17th-century main house, a chapel attributed to Jules-Hardouin Mansart, a former hospital for disabled soldiers, and a park still marked by the remains of a Vauban-style bastioned enclosure. Marshal de Bellefonds, who lived here after falling out of royal favour, left a lasting imprint on the estate in the late 17th century.
