En un regard
Le château en bref
Haubourg Manor is located in the former commune of Saint-Côme-du-Mont, now part of Carentan-les-Marais, in the Cotentin region of Normandy. It was built in 1632 for Léonard Rouxelin, a lawyer in Carentan. The rectangular main building, flanked by two projecting pavilions, bears a decorative scheme in the spirit of the Renaissance, with slender pilasters and chequerboard patterns. The courtyard retains a carriage house with three round-arched bays on columns, and a carriage gateway. The manor passed by inheritance to the Le Forestier d'Osseville family, was sold during the Revolution, and has frequently changed hands since the late nineteenth century. The façades and roofs, outbuildings, linking walls, spiral staircase and four decorated fireplaces are listed as historic monuments.
