About Ango Manor
" Ango was a powerful maritime advisor to King François I and owned over 30 ships at the height of his influence. The manor features a striking contrast between its fortress-like exterior and the elegant Renaissance courtyard within, showcasing a beautiful loggia with decorative medallions. The highlight is the famous dovecote, built in 1532 as the largest in France, standing 11 meters high with a distinctive Byzantine-style onion dome and 1,600 nesting boxes capable of housing 3,200 pigeons.

In 1522, Jehan Ango's corsair captain Jean Fleury intercepted Spanish ships near the Azores carrying Aztec treasure that Hernan Cortes was sending to Emperor Charles V. This spectacular heist brought incredible riches to Normandy and earned Ango royal favor, allowing him to build this magnificent manor.
