What the French Ministry of Culture records

Construit de 1613 à 1620 par la famille de Vassy sur le modèle des châteaux de Ducey, Sotteville, Chiffrevast et Crosville-sur-Douve, le château de Vassy comprenait à l'origine un grand corps de logis avec deux ailes latérales, cour d'honneur, jardins et avenues. Vidé de son mobilier à la Révolution, il fit l'objet de démolitions partielles au 19e siècle : les deux ailes latérales servirent de carrière de pierre, les cheminées monumentales furent enlevées, retaillées et remontées au château de Bonnefontaine, près d'Antrain (Ille-et-Vilaine) et au château Saint-Blaise à Bricquebec, les jardins, avenues et plans d'eau disparurent également. En 1910, il fut acquis par la famille de Larturière qui entreprit de le sauver. Il a conservé un très bel escalier tournant à six noyaux, à volées simples et doubles alternantes, en brique et granit, avec des balustres carrées en pierre de Vernon, construit au début du 17e siècle.
