On June 20, 1944, the 79th American Infantry Division liberated Yvetot-Bocage, and General Collins made Château de Servigny his headquarters. Historic events played a role in Château de Servigny to the point that a treaty bears its name: the Treaty of Servigny marked the Surrender of Cherbourg to the Allies on June 26, 1944 ~ the only peace treaty signed during WWII by the Americans and Germans. It was in this room at 4PM on that day and at this desk that the Treaty was signed by General Joseph Lawton Collins and General Karl Wilhelm von Schlieben. Interesting photographs of that important time adorn the walls. This room is part of the private residence in the château, but guests may visit it if accompanied by the owners as their guides.
Below are photographs taken at that time in the
château's history. The château is known as the "D-Day
château".  |
