Ancien manoir stands in Tordouet (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Tordouet, in the Pays d'Auge region, a manor house dating from the 15th and 16th centuries stands on a mound that once held a stronghold. Two building phases a century apart remain visible in its façades, combining limestone, grey flint and timber framing. The oldest section retains thick walls and narrow openings, a legacy of its defensive design, while the 16th-century extension stands out for its checkerboard stonework pattern.
