Description
This defensive manor was erected during the Hundred Years War, probably in connection with the neighboring abbey of La Croix-Saint-Leufroy. It presents a quadrangular plan with round towers on each corner, surrounded by a floodable ditch. This design is typical of fortified farms from the 14th and 15th century. The buildings, barely in state since the last century, are arranged around a closed courtyard; Although some were modified in the 18th century, medieval elements of the main structure are still partially visible.
