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

The château de Malou is a sixteenth-century residence located in Norolles, Calvados. Built in the second half of that century, its main façade is flanked by two conical turrets in limestone. The building combines local construction techniques: mixed brick and stone masonry on one elevation, timber framing on another, reflecting the building practices of Normandy at that time.

What to know

The building has been protected as a historic monument since 1930 for its front façade and roof, with the rear façade, terrace and staircase added to the protection in 2006.
The structure combines brick, stone and timber-framed elements, particularly visible on the side and rear elevations.
Interior modifications date to the eighteenth century, though the main structure remains sixteenth-century.
