Artilly Manor

En un regard

Le château en bref

Artilly Manor stands at the locality of the same name, in an isolated position in the countryside of Beuzeville-au-Plain, a commune déléguée of Sainte-Mère-Église, in the heart of the Cotentin. Recorded by the Inventaire général during the topographical survey carried out in 1986 in the area of Sainte-Mère-Église (notice IA00001118), it is a former seigneurial residence that has become a farm. The Artilly fief is documented from 1543, when it was held by the Scelles family. The main house dates back to the 16th century; it was remodelled in the 19th century, while the outbuildings were rebuilt in the 18th century, as indicated by the date 1726 inscribed on a door. The house, built of rendered limestone rubble, rises over a ground floor and a full upper storey, with a façade laid out in bays and an interior staircase. The slate roofs combine roofs with long pitches and a conical roof. The Inventaire notes inside a fireplace of interest and sculpted decoration. The estate remains privately owned; the farm parts were not studied by the Inventaire.
