In the Bessin region, at Géfosse-Fontenay, this fortified manor replaced a medieval castle destroyed during the Hundred Years' War. The present buildings, raised between the 15th and 17th centuries, gather around an enclosed courtyard a gatehouse with a small tower, a stone dovecote and a Gothic chapel with notable carved decoration. Visitors mainly come for the early 16th century chapel, whose carved corbels depict musicians and animals.
