Château du Moustier
Description
In 1850, Mr Lamotte, an architect in Caen, built a bourgeois house on the ruins of a Moustier (monastery) from the Middle Ages on the land next to the parish enclosure of Neuilly-le-Malherbe. The house and the park surrounding it are treated in the romantic spirit that was fashionable at the time. At the back of the house, a path planted with lime trees leads to a clearing surrounded by a crown of beech, oak and chestnut trees. Other alleys criss-cross the park following the slopes among hundred-year-old trees (black pines, sequoias, larches and deciduous trees). The ensemble is designed in a natural way and forms a picturesque picture with the mansion house treated in a neo-Medieval spirit with a turret, loopholes, mullioned windows and a surrounding wall.
