Château de la Motte stands in Thue et Mue (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 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The château de la Motte stands in Thue et Mue, in the Calvados department, on a site with medieval origins though the current building dates from the first half of the 18th century. Its listing as a historic monument covers not only the façades, roofs and entrance gate but also several interior rooms with refined decoration, such as the dining room, the drawing rooms and various period fireplaces. It offers an example of a Norman manor house whose interest lies as much in its exterior architecture as in the elegance of some of its protected interiors.
