In the northern Cotentin, the Anneville manor stands on the site of a fortified castle destroyed in 1346 during Edward III's landing at La Hougue. The present building, mostly dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, shows a classical facade with a central projecting section featuring pilasters and a triangular pediment pierced by an oculus window. Outbuildings, including a carriage house with four round arches, complete the grounds, visible from the Quettehou road. The location was used in 1957 as a filming spot for Une Vie, based on Maupassant's novel, starring Maria Schell.
