La Faucherie Manor

En un regard

Le château en bref

La Faucherie Manor, also known as La Faucherie Castle, is a fortified residence dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, located at Le Mesnillard, in the Manche department. Guillaume Cordon acquired it in 1583, and the manor was remodelled in the 19th century; Joseph de Robillard de Beaurepaire, mayor of the commune, lived there. The main building retains its ancient core, legible in its original gable walls, as well as a stair tower housing a dovecote and a square pavilion at the south-west corner. Two monumental granite fireplaces survive on the ground floor. The original moats have been replaced by gardens and a shaded avenue. The façades and roofs of the manor and of the south-west pavilion, the stair tower with its dovecote, the original gable walls and the two granite fireplaces have been listed as monuments historiques since 27 December 1989. The overall layout and the nature of the masonry are not specified in the sources consulted. As a private property, the manor is not open to the public.
