Château de Fontaine-Henry

The Château de Fontaine-Henry is a stately residence located in the French commune of Fontaine-Henry, in the Calvados department of Normandy. The building is listed as a Monument historique. Described as a "Loire château lost in Normandy", the originally medieval structure is renowned for its façades, marked primarily by the Louis XII style and Renaissance styles. Owing to its high French roofs rising to nearly 15 metres (49 ft) on the quadrangular "Gros Pavillon", the château is also considered to possess some of the highest roofs in France.
