Chateau de Carrouges

Carrouges is first in the XIV^e century a stronghold of the Hundred Years War. It becomes a stately home in the XV^e century, increased to the XVI^e century of an entrance châtelet considered as the first witness of Renaissance architecture in Normandy. Once again fortified in the time of the Wars of Religion, its function as a prestigious residence is affirmed by the construction at the end of the XVI^e century of two «classical» wings and the stairs that serve them due to the architect François Gabriel.
