At Brécey, on the banks of the Sée river, the château de Vassy is a manor house built in the early seventeenth century by the Vassy family. Its façade combines blue schist, pink brick and white stone, in a style that already points toward Louis XIII classicism. The main interior feature is the staircase, with its turning flights carried on granite columns and brick walls. The estate now hosts temporary exhibitions of painting and sculpture.
