En un regard
Le château en bref
In Saint-Jacques-de-Néhou, in the centre of the Cotentin near Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte, Gonneville Manor is a modest seigneurial residence dating from the late 16th or early 17th century. The Pitteboult family settled there at the end of the 15th century, and Jacques Pitteboult was lord of the manor in 1523. The present building is said to have been built under Henri IV by Charles Pigache. From 1685 to 1829, the manor belonged to the de Beaudrap family. It follows the closed plan of the defensive manors of the Cotentin, with mullioned windows and ornamental dormers. A pavilion in the Henri IV style, rebuilt in the 17th century, stands out for its monumental fireplaces. The estate also retains a charreterie (cart shed) with round arches and a dovecote. The façades, roofs, fireplaces and dovecote have been listed as monuments historiques since 29 August 1977. It should not be confused with the namesake manor in Blainville-sur-Mer. It is a private property.
