Stud Farm in Saint Lô

The Haras National de Saint-Lô in Normandy is a horse stud farm set just outside the centre of the town. Built in 1806, the magnificent stables have a very distinctive and rather elegant exterior. The majority of the stables were destroyed during the bombings which St Lô endured during the second world war. Around 95% of the town was also destroyed. The stables were rebuilt in the original style and now breed three types of horses. They host a number of events including the annual Normandy Horse Show.
