Ancien manoir des abbesses de Saint-Amand stands in Boos (Seine-Maritime), in the Normandie region of France.

No visits are on record for this building.

In Boos, in Seine-Maritime, the former manor of the abbesses of Saint-Amand preserves traces of a seigneurial estate built in the mid 13th century for the nuns of the Rouen abbey. The medieval dwelling, enlarged in the 18th century, stands alongside a 15th century tithe barn and a 16th century dovecote whose brick and earthenware facades, the work of Masséot Abaquesne, form a striking decorative ensemble. The surrounding walls still clearly mark the boundaries of this rural estate.
