Hôtel de Than, Renaissance private mansion in Caen, France
The Hôtel de Than features decorative stonework on its facade, tall windows, and Italian-influenced dormers that define its Renaissance architectural style.
Built in the early 16th century for Thomas Morel, lord of Secqueville-en-Bessin and Thaon, the mansion stands near the Odon river.
During the 19th century, Abel Vautier filled the mansion with an extensive collection of porcelain, musical instruments, antiques, and natural specimens.
The mansion, located at 6 Impasse de Than, currently houses seven apartments and a retail space following a major renovation project in 2017.
The building survived World War II damage and fires during the Battle of Caen, leading to restoration work that incorporated different materials.
