fine art calm colour detail inside Château de Saint Germain de Livet, Pays d’Auge, Normandy, France

Jewel of Pays d’Auge, Normandy en.normandie-tourisme.fr/normandy-tourism-109-2.html, the Castle of Saint-Germain de Livet is striking by its architecture. Surrounded by moats, it is made up of a timber-framed manor dates back to the 15th century and a Renaissance wing built during the 16th century. This part is remarkable for its painting tiles. The castle houses marvellous frescoes dated from the 16th century. The visit is extended by the discovery of the flowery and raised park. This castle is also a museum. It presents the furniture and the works of art of the family Riesener-Pillaut who bequeathed the castle to the city of Lisieux in 1957. The inside testifies the refinement and the lifestyle of the 19th century. The trail evokes the artistic and personal journey of the painter Léon Riesener (1808-1878), grandson of the cabinet maker Jean-Henri Riesener and cousin of Eugène Delacroix. Visit the furnished interior of the Château de Saint-Germain-de-Livet, where you can also admire paintings by the artist Léon Riesener. The castle has been the property of the town of Lisieux since 1958. www.calvados-tourisme.co.uk/diffusio/en/discover/sites-mo...
