To make a day of it
Logis de la Cousinière stands in Saint-Brice (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The Logis de la Cousinière, in Saint-Brice in the Orne department, brings together two distinct building periods on a single farming estate. The older house, raised between the 12th and 13th centuries, is a rectangular fortified dwelling with a defensive tower and a dovecote built against its chimneys. Next to it stands the Louis XV house, built in 1754, with a wooden-railed staircase and rooms decorated with period woodwork. Together the buildings trace the development of a Norman farming estate from the Middle Ages to the 18th century.
