Sound and lights the night of my visit. The current castle dates from the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century3; it was built on the site of a medieval castle, at the initiative of Robert de Tournebu, Lord of Livet4, who had it rebuilt with a checkered brick and stone facade5. The castle was owned by the Tournebu family until the death of Marie-Pierre de Tournebu (who died last in her branch in 1810). By donation, the castle passed to the Foucault family who kept it until 18796. It was bought by Julien and Augusta Pillaut in the 1920s and remained their property until their death in 1947 (Julien Pillaut) and 1957 (Augusta Pillaut). Without a descendant, they decide to donate it to the city of Lisieux
