# Manoir de Donville

Méautis, Manche, Normandie

Manoir de Donville stands in Méautis (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Set in the marshland west of Carentan, the manor of Donville is a Norman house built of cob and timber, rebuilt in 1778 for a prosperous farmer who wanted a country retreat. Now privately owned and open to visitors, it still bears the marks of a little-known episode of the D-Day campaign, the fighting known as Bloody Gulch in June 1944. Visitors can see its single-span elm roof frame shaped like an upturned hull, period woodwork and terraced gardens.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
