Description
At the beginning of the 17th century the estate belonged to Francois du Mesnil. Like many noble families of the time, the du Mesnil family followed the reformed religion. They took part in the religious and social battles of the time. Shortly after Revocation of the edict of Nantes in 1685, they returned to Catholicism. At the end of the 18th century, the chateau passed through marriage to the de Frotte family. One member of this family, who was a Marquis, was a prefect during the first half of the 19th century. The chateau is currently run as a B&B by its present owners.
