geography
Saint-Germain-de-Livet is eight kilometers southwest of Lisieux . The municipality is crossed by the Touques River.
history
In the 12th century, Beaudoin Tyrel was mentioned in a document as the seigneur of the place. Until the French Revolution (1789–1799) the village was sometimes named after him Livet-le-Beaudoin . In 1462 the village came into the possession of the Tournebu family through marriage and was therefore sometimes called Livet-Tournebu .
Castle of Saint-Germain-de-Livet
The castle Saint-Germain-de-Livet ( French Château de Saint-Germain-de-Livet ) is a castle complex in the place Saint-Germain-de-Livet. The moat of the moated castle is fed by a small tributary of the Touques.
First parts of the castle were in March 1924 as historique monument under monument protection provided. They were followed in 1959, 1963, 1966 and most recently in 2007 by other parts of the building that were also included in the list of monuments .
The entire palace complex has been owned by the City of Lisieux since 1958 and is open to visitors. It is a good example of French aristocratic architecture at the time of the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance , because the viewer can still find defensive elements such as machicolation as well as decorative architectural details without a defensive function on the buildings .
