To make a day of it
Manoir de Mebzon stands in Sept-Forges (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The manor of Mebzon stands in the former commune of Sept-Forges, in the Orne department, still surrounded by its original moat. Built during the 14th and 15th centuries, it retains a partly ruined hall, a polygonal stair tower and a striking upturned-hull roof frame. Large medieval fireplaces and mullioned windows can also be seen, evidence of a refined civil architecture that has changed little over the centuries.
