Logis et grange du Manoir de la Haule stands in Aclou (Eure), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 14th century, second half of the 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Haule manor, built in the second half of the 14th century in Aclou, is an agricultural complex of stone and flint marked by its timber-framed upper storey. A three-nave barn, constructed in 1491, complements the main residence whose roof frame, dated 1360, displays trusses and curved braces inspired by medieval English hall architecture. The site, listed as a historical monument since 2020, continues to serve as the centre of a working farm.

What to know

The property functions as a working farm, which may limit access to the buildings depending on seasonal farm activities.
Both the main house and barn are fully protected as historical monuments since June 2020.
The interior roof frame of the manor, visible in the attic space, demonstrates a rare French example of 14th-century English medieval construction techniques.
