Château de la Vaucelle, Medieval castle in Saint-Lô, France.
The Château de la Vaucelle features turrets, a dovecote, and crenellated walls, positioned along the banks of the Vire River in Manche department.
Built in the 14th century, the castle received numerous royal guests including King Francis I in 1532 and King James II of England during their visits.
Jean Boucard, Bishop of Avranches and confessor to King Louis XI, established the Sainte-Pernelle chapel and created Normandy's second-largest library.
The dovecote and northern crenellated wall have been registered as historical monuments since July 11, 1975, with access subject to owner permission.
The descendants of Luc Duchemin, a 17th-century chronicler from Saint-Lô, maintain ownership of this historical estate to this day.
