Rise above Normandy: Château de Fontaine-Henry

Located in the commune of Fontaine-Henry, Calvados, Normandy, the Château de Fontaine-Henry, a Monument historique, is known as a 'Loire château lost in Normandy'. Its distinctive Louis XII and Renaissance-style facades, and its towering rooftops reaching up to nearly 15 metres (49 ft) on the quadrangular 'Gros Pavillon', make it one of France's highest roofed monuments. The château, on the road to Thaon and near the Church of the Nativity of Our Lady, has remained in the family since its creation in the 13th century. Despite changes in ownership, including the House of Harcourt, the Cornulier family, and the d'Oilliamson family, the château has never been sold. The current owner is Marquis Pierre-Apollinaire d'Oilliamson. The estate also houses a 13th-century chapel and cellars dating from the 12th and 13th centuries.
