# Manoir de la Guyonnière

Saint-Jean-des-Bois, Orne, Normandie

Manoir de la Guyonnière stands in Saint-Jean-des-Bois (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Standing at the edge of a forest in the commune of Tinchebray-Bocage, the Manoir de la Guyonnière is a squat, granite building from the 17th century, built with defence in mind rather than appearance. Its blocky shape recalls its role as a refuge during the Norman chouannerie uprising, when Louis de Frotté made it his headquarters. Inside, a carved granite staircase and original door joinery survive, along with gun loops still visible in the stair risers.

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