To celebrate the 400^th anniversary of the estate, a brand new exhibition invites you to discover the history of a family from Normandy and its estate, from the time it was founded in the early 17^th century by Charles II Le Pesant, to the present day with the creation of the Sculpture Garden.

Discover portraits of illustrious family members such as the playwright brothers Pierre and Thomas Corneille and the economist Pierre Le Pesant de Boisguilbert. Family records, paintings, books, maps and estate plans will help you understand the development of this estate, which is an indelible part of the landscape and history of Normandy.
