The manor of Écajeul, also known as Fort Basseville, stands in open countryside southwest of the village of Le Mesnil-Mauger, in Normandy's Pays d'Auge. Built at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, this tall stone dwelling has a distinctly defensive character, marked by a polygonal stair tower topped with a lookout chamber. A trefoil dormer window and a timber-framed extension add to the manor's distinctive silhouette.
