Château de Lasson, Renaissance castle in Lasson, France
The Château de Lasson consists of two main structures with decorated façades displaying horizontal bands, chimera animals, and roses from the Thésart family crest.
Built between 1515 and 1525 on a 14th-century manor foundation, the castle stands as one of the first Renaissance structures in Normandy alongside Fontaine-Henry and Lion-sur-Mer.
The castle represents the architectural transition period when French nobility adopted Renaissance design principles, moving away from medieval fortification styles.
The castle received protection status in two phases: the main building classification occurred in 1917, while the façades and roofs of auxiliary buildings gained registration in 1975.
The structure features a distinctive buttress topped with a high pinnacle supporting a false flying buttress, marking the slight offset between its two main bodies.
