Manoir d'Auffay stands in Oherville (Seine-Maritime), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 15th century, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Auffay manor stands at Oherville, in the Caux region, on land occupied as early as the 11th and 12th centuries by a feudal mound belonging to the Houdetot family. The present dwelling, built in the second half of the 15th century and later reworked during the Renaissance, combines brick, stone and flint in a chequered pattern that gives its best known facade its character. Two corner towers, a polygonal turret and a vaulted vestibule dated 1553, attributed to Jean Goujon, reflect this dual character, defensive to the north, ornamental to the south. The property, still a private residence, also includes a dovecote and the remains of the castle mound.
