At Planguenoual, the dovecot of Vaujoyeux is the sole remaining element of the former manor. This structure is distinguished by its unusual quadrilobed plan and its distinctive vaulting system, where each tower features a barrel vault. Protected as a historic monument, it bears witness to the architectural skill of manorial outbuildings.
