The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Saint-Coulomb, the malouinière of La Fosse Hingant belongs to that distinctive style of manor built by wealthy shipowners from Saint-Malo in the 17th century. The main house, altered during the Restoration with an added front section, still shows its original six-bay layout, an unusual feature for this type of residence. The grounds also include a chapel dated 1781, a dovecote, and a billiard room shaped like a small classical temple at the far end of the enclosed park. The estate is chiefly remembered as the centre of the La Rouërie conspiracy during the Chouannerie uprising.
