The Château de la Poupelière is part of the Sainte Honorine-la Chardonne village, close to the calvados region in the Normandy bocage also known as 'La Suisse Normande' due to its undulating countryside. It was bought by Guillaume VELAY on the 17th of August 1858 and stayed in the family for 5 generations, until 1989.
When Mr. VELAY bought this property in 1858, it was a huge rectangular house. He added the right hand side of the Château in 1882 and the second part, on the left, was between 1892 & 1894. The 16 by 8 metres' room is a very high building composed of several turrets and is now our reception room. The Château was fortunately spared the two World Wars, especially during the Second World War as Condè sur Noireau, a town a few miles away, was wiped out.
One of the turrets was destroyed by a fire in August 1936 and is now replaced by the terrace. The family property is now The Sainte Honorine Golf & Country Club.
