Manoir de la Cheminée Tournante stands in Anneville-Ambourville (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 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Standing on the banks of the Seine, this late 17th century manor owes its unusual appearance to a fully open central gallery, lined with arches and pilasters, which serves as the main facade of the house. Built for a family of Rouen magistrates, it consists of a central block topped with a carved pediment, flanked by two pavilions extended by lower wings added later. Built of brick and stone, the property can be viewed from the outside, within its surrounding setting of terraces, walls and moats.
