Ancien manoir dit Tour aux Anglais stands in Aunou-le-Faucon (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Aunou-le-Faucon, close to Argentan, this manor house stands beside a stairway tower dating from the early 15th century, with building phases traced to the 14th and 17th centuries. From outside, visitors can see the water-filled moat, the bridge leading to the enclosed garden, and the main façade reworked in the 17th century, which still shows a row of round-headed arches at first-floor level.
