En un regard
Le château en bref
At Vasteville, now a commune déléguée of La Hague, Toutfresville Manor is a residence dating from the late XVIe or early XVIIe century, typical of the fortified manor houses of the north-west Cotentin. In 1521 the seigneury belonged to the Rosette family; one of their descendants, Charles-Olivier Rosette de Brucourt, a lieutenant in the Gardes françaises, later founded the Coutances library. The Symon and then the Mesnil-Eury families subsequently held the estate. Access is through an open porch with a double door, comprising a carriage gate and a pedestrian door, built against a round tower. The outbuildings include a barn with six round-arched bays topped by dormer windows, and a dovecote with a defensive function. A chapel dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene, dated 1570, completes the ensemble. The façades and roofs of the manor and its outbuildings have been listed as monuments historiques since 11 June 1980. The manor is privately owned.
