The origin of the house of Aunou probably dates back to Lord Foulque d'Airou, companion of William the Conqueror. The first building was built around 1350, a simple quadrilateral on 2 levels with an exterior staircase. It was remodeled in 1450 with the construction of the tower and a third habitable level. After belonging to the counts
of Alençon, François d'O, superintendent of finances of kings Henri III and Henri IV, acquired the
domain in 1594.
The barony reached the revolutionary era in fairly poor condition: “an old castle composed of several rooms, bedrooms, attics, with surrounding ditches and a chapel, grass circuit, all for 6 mowable yards”. National property in Year II of the Republic, the estate was sold in 1807 to be transformed into agricultural exploitation. The moat has been filled in but the manor, still in poor condition, continues to stand on its green carpet. The property is listed among the sites in 1943 and the manor is listed on the supplementary inventory of historic monuments in
nineteen eighty one

Château des Ducs

Highlight • Castle

The Château des Ducs is a 14th century castle that was once the residence of Pierre II de Valois, a descendant of Saint Louis. The castle is today the seat of the court of justice, but you can still admire its architecture and its chapel, which houses a magnificent altarpiece from the 18th century.
