Château des Riffets is a mansion in the village Bretteville-sur-Laize, Calvados department, Normandy, northwestern France. HistoryThe Château was built around 1880; the nearby farm dates from the 18th century.[1] It was built on the ruins of a coaching inn used by William the Conqueror in the 11th century.{{Citation needed|date=August 2010}} During the Second World War, German troops were stationed there, and during the D-Day landings of June 1944, the Chateau housed a German bomb dump. The chateau has been partially destroyed at least 3 times - once in the 13th century, during the French revolution and by accidental bombing during the Second World War, as when the USAAF attempted to bomb the bomb dump first time, they hit the Chateau, but then they came back and hit just the bomb dump. The Château is now used as a Bed and Breakfast. References 1 : Châteaux in Calvados (department) |
